Not particularly. As you noticed, though, there is a new file (generated.xml) which allows us to automatically set JVM properties from etc/grid/templates.xml. Try bin/omero admin jvmcfg for the values that the server will use.

You shouldn't need to perform any manual replacement. 

Coming late to this thread a couple of questions:
 * Have you checked the Windows EventViewer for any errors?
 * Did bin\omero admin start --foreground   show any errors?
