Question

Hello,
In Server 2008, to be able to create new VM using same (copied) VHD, we had to use SYSREP to change SID or 3rd party tools, if we wanted to join it to the same domain, otherwise we got an instability on servers.
How can we change/update SID in server 2012? I can't find SYSPREP nor other tool.
Or maybe we don't need to change SID anymore?
Thanks

Depends on if you want to obtain support from Microsoft. Microsoft only supports replicated/cloned images created from sysprep. Sysprep does a lot more than just change the SID.
