Duplication

Windows XP

Sysprep is a tool that is designed for system administrators, Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and others who must automatically deploy
the Windows XP operating system on multiple computers. After you perform
the initial setup steps on a single computer, you can run the Sysprep tool
to prepare the sample computer for cloning.

I'll appreciate your understanding. If other peers have any information
about this issue, please feel free to share your experience, or you may
contact the cloning software manufacturer for assistance.

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao

| This may be tough one since it involves a 3rd party app but I'll try....
|
| I have a 64 bit test machine that is triple booting (Windows XP x64, 2003
| x64 and 2003 R2 x64). My SATA hard drive was running low on space so I
| bought a much larger one and added it to the second SATA channel. I then
| used Ghost Enterprise 8 to do a full disk-to-disk clone. When finished,
I
| shut down the machine, removed the old disk and set the new one as the
| primary (moved it to the first SATA controller).
|
| It seems to me that everything should have been OK, since it was a
straight
| disk clone and all the partitions show up with the correct drive letters.

| The only real difference is the size of the partitions.
|
| I can boot to the OS (XP) that is on partition 1 with no problems.
However,
| when I boot into the member server on partition 3, I try to log on and it
| logs me right back off. Also, if I try to log on to the domain
controller on
| partition 2, I get directory services errors asking that I boot into DSRM.
|
| I do have a second disk which contains data. Included in one of the
| partitions on the second disk is the AD log files. If the drive letter
| changed on that partition (it shouldn't have), that might explain the
problem
| with the DC. But it wouldn't explain the inability to log on to the
member
| server. There shouldn't be any duplicate SIDs because I removed the old
disk
| and it hasn't been used in another machine.
|
| Is anyone able to explain this? I have tried it twice with the same
| results. It doesn't seem as though this should be happening.
|
| Thanks.
