You are going to have problems with this and I would suggest that you create
new Ghost images of machines that have been sysprepped before imaging. If
you run sysprep and then shut the machine down and image it from there it
will boot up into mini-setup manager with a new SID. Otheriwse you'll have
problems getting these machines to join the Domain properly and will
experience issues with the machine account trusts.
