I don't see any issues with the AD names.

But the product ID ..... that which is generated on the installation - I
don't know what it's used for but I suspect that having x number identical
could be a problem somewhere down the road. (think activation, support,
upgrade, etc. as in "sorry, that product ID is already in use".)
