Hello AndyTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Software is not effected by sysprep. See here whats going on:

Choose "Sysprep Processes and Interactions"

Hello,
Will running sysprep mess/screw up with any of the software installed
on the laptop?
What about all the users that have logged on already, will it messed
with their cached local profiles, etc?

Hello AndyTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Yes, move it from the domain to workgroup and delete the account in
AD UC. Then use sysprep to change the SIDs and join it back to the
domain. If you think about using NewSID from sysinternals, keep in
mind that this is not supported from MS. Also NewSID will ONLY change
the SID, while sysprep will change some more settings.
See here about preparing an image for duplication:

Ahh you are probably right.
One question, will running change-sid program screw up with the
active directory computer object then?

Andy,
Just a guess here, are the laptops from a common image? If you
used imaging software to clone the laptops and didn't use SysPrep
to change the SID you'll have trouble with WSUS. WSUS sees 1 SID &
thinks it's the same laptop.

Hello,
I recently setup WSUS SP1 in a 2003 AD environment.
I have a weird problem; All my servers registered as I did those
manually
on the local GP.
I created a GP for all the laptops on this site to point to the
WSUS
server.
However, only one laptop has registered.
But here is the weird part - It seems to change every few hours.
The one laptop that is registered will keep changing names to
different
laptops.
It's like it's only allowing one to register, and it replaces that
one
with a new one when it registers.
Any ideas?
I ran clientdiag.exe on a few laptops and it passed all connection
tests to the WSUS server.
.
