You shouldn't ever join a reference image to the domain. Any reason you can't do a complete build and capture? Automate the entire process and it will clean any GUIDs and such with the prepare steps at the end.

We are working on building a reference image for a lab of 100 PC's that we will be deploying soon. The vendor has agreed to mass clone them back at their warehouse. We figured this would help free up some of our deployment time. I am wondering once we have the reference image all fine-tuned, we will be taking it out of the domain and having it in a workgroup. As far as the ConfigMgr client goes, should we be uninstalling that as well? Im a bit nervous about how the ConfigMgr site will see all of these that were mass cloned (disk copied). Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
