I mentioned about renew Microsoft Windows SID with NewSID tools in my previous post and I will talk about another easy way to reinitialise your Microsoft Windows with SysPrep (System Preparation Tool) after cloning.

After installation of Microsoft Windows ( from image cloning software like Norton Ghost or Windows 2003 Automated Deployment Services (ADS)), you will need to reinitialise your Microsoft Windows to its initial state so that you can reset your computer name, domain or even SID. This is where Sysprep will be very helpful.

What you need to do is just get Sysprep from Windows XP SP2 Deployment Tools or Windows 2003 SP2 Deployment Tools. Extract all the files to your local hard disk and double click on Sysprep.exe.

Choose “Reseal”, your windows will automatically shut down and you shall able to reenter the computer name, domain and regional setting on the next start up, this will reinitialise your windows while preserve all the applications that installed on the master image.
