Yeah - we use Sysprep before doing the images for our desktops. I still try to avoid using any imaging programs for servers. I don't trust 'em.

Hello, I have an Exchange Box, that I ghosted to another hard drive. I did this, because I need another duplicate machine - so I can plop it into a testing environment. Also, the amount of customization and software on the original machine, was extensive - and doing it this way, will save me many, many hours of work. Now I changed the ghosted machine name, etc. so there would not be any name collisions on the network when I first brought it up on the network, but when it comes time to join the Domain, and then log into it, I get an error message. When I look into the Event Logs, it says it's because it already detected another system with the same SID on the network (which makes total sense). Since Ghost is such a tremendously popular method of duplicating machines, etc. surely there must be a utility out there, that lets you change or produce new SIDs for machines. Could anybody point me in the right direction, regarding this topic?
