You definitely need to sysprep. Whatever you're reading is wrong. Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected]

I will be cloning xp machines (identical hardware). These machines are all on a domain. Do I need to sysprep before cloning? I'm just doing 6 computers. I've read that I do need to sysprep, and I've read that I don't need to sysprep because the machines are on a domain (Windows 2003 native in my case). Obviously after cloning, I need to go in and change the computer name, so I don't get conflicts (unless, of course, I use sysprep to change the names for me). Thanks for your wisdom in this.
