Export/ Import to duplicate Servere possible/recommended?


hi!
at moment have install 4 windows2003servers terminalservers.
the planned hyper-v-virtual-machines.
can install 1 of them , create others export , import (copied) export-files without getting trouble duplicate security-ids?
or have use sysprep create new security-ids after importing files?
thanks... jochen

export - copy - import 1 thing - duplicate machines.

you still have go throught process of making each machine unique upon import (or sysprep prior export).  , make happy in active directory (unjoin, rename, join, etc.)

be aware os handles sysprep process fine, there applications don't - trial , error can determine applications.

i have duplicated many terminal servers on years , gave on attempting install applications prior sysprep'ing  ran problems application or another.
i prepare os, duplicate machine, use unattended installation scripts (or manual installs) handle of application installations after machine had finished becoming unique.
