You don't need to do any of that (the export/import stuff)
Just create your base machine, and shut it down (e.g. after sysprep

Simple answer yes but you do have some loops to go through to use the machine
as separate machines. You will have to e

Using Microsoft Virtual Server, we just sysprep the machine once we have it
built to our specs, and then make copies at will.

BTW, you could do a simple copy under Virtual Server but I never did that as
I was always worried about the SID issue. Since Hyper-V asks about re-using
Machine ID's I am hoping that it would change the SID or this is some new

I don't know about sysprep but at least you want to run the changesid.
Whenever you copy a vm in vmware products you get asked to create/keep the
computer identifier. Also the .vmx file in vmware contains the MAC address
of the NIC so you could modify this or simply create a new virtual nic so

machine I'm cloning prior to cloning it...

Not as simple as the ESX console or VMWorkstation where you right click
