SPNs are a property of the computer object in AD not the actual machine itself so not really the issue here.

Actually, I think for workstations, they show up as warnings. Granted, since SPNs on a workstation are few and far between, that isn't as important...

[John-Aldrich][Tile-Tools] From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:mark.rei...@prairie.edu] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 11:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: sysprep question Hi folks, In my research on sysprep, I've come across conflicting information. I will be cloning xp machines (identical hardware). These machines are all on a domain. Do I need to sysprep before cloning? I'm just doing 6 computers. I've read that I do need to sysprep, and I've read that I don't need to sysprep because the machines are on a domain (Windows 2003 native in my case). Obviously after cloning, I need to go in and change the computer name, so I don't get conflicts (unless, of course, I use sysprep to change the names for me). Thanks for your wisdom in this.
