![]() Is there something you don't understand? Surely you didn't expect Acronis to write in plain English? ![]() Which will make every Client unique but it is much more time and effort consuming.JamesA1 wrote: ↑Well, the problem is obvious. I tried to change IP and Name and Computer and the issue seems to be cleared.īut I am totally confused if I should Clone my Workstations but may have issues or if I should perform a new installation on each Computer Client I also think that this is a WakeUp-On-Lan matter. Once the computer boots to Windows 10 welcome screen, Computer A will power-on automatically It is Microsoft which is making cloning to generate issues. So in order to answer the initial post of Jackie Man, cloning is not being used only for the same computer. other computer with dissimilar hardware ![]() ![]() Is there any problem of having the same Machine and local User SID under the same network in Workgroup mode? Regarding Acronis: I therefore agree with the last post of Hancock and I have also the same question. I have also found this: Duplicate SIDs aren't an issue in a Domain-based environment since domain accounts have SID's based on the Domain SID I have also seen that the "Sysprep" term is also used for creating an Unattended installation of Windows 10.īut it seems more complicated and time consuming compared to Cloning. It also seems that the Machine SID will not change by using Sysprep (if possible confirm). If I "Sysprep" the Windows by running "Out-of-Box Experience" (OOBE) this will push Windows to create a new user account but the existing local accounts will remain with the same SID. Yes the SID for the existing local accounts is the same. This SSD will be used as an "template-installation" disk.įor each Cloned Workstation, required settings will be applied, new IP and Computer name will be assigned and following each computer will be joined to Active Directory.Ĭurrently the Workstations are running Windows 7 and the above procedure was followed in the past in order to perform mass installation of Windows 7. Again everything was not activated (including MS Office) and the computer is under the default Workgroup. On the SSD drive from which we wish to make clones, a fresh installation of Windows 10 was made with no Key, and add-on software was also installed. To sum up, all drives are SSD, same size, same maker and model, the only think that is different is the S/N of each SSD. Sysprep removes the PC from the domain.but if you remove both machines from the domain, they will still have the same machine SID (not to be confused with Domain SID) manually.Īgain having two machines in a workgroup with differnet IP Address, different name, but same machine SID, does this cause a bad experience ? machine name and IP Address, if you turn on both, you will get duplicate IPs, duplicate names and a trust relationship fail.(Domain SID). Only a single machine can exist on the network at one time, e.g. What happens on the network if two machines have the same machine SID (not machine name or IP Address!)Īnd the Machine SID reaches out via Wake On Lan, and turns on computer A ? Why do we need to use Sysprep ? (apart from a Microsoft recommendation, and it changes the machine SID and Client ID - used in WSUS but not much else!)ĭoes the world explode if two machines have the same machine SID ? (not domain SID, because that is created when a machine joins the domain!). Of course Computer A and Computer B are under the same Network and imagine what will happen if the rest cloned computers have such behavior.įinally, if I remove the Network cable from Computer A, it will not boot-up once Computer B is powered-on. (this has happened more than once, so it is not a random case) On Computer B, I installed the first cloned SSD and powered-on the Computer.Ĭomputer B was successfully booted to Win 10 but I noticed that after powering on Computer B, Computer A was also powered-on automatically. I use Computer A in order to clone the Win 10 and turned-off Computer A. The cloning result seems successful but I am facing the below issue: I would like to speed-up the process of upgrading my Workstations from Win 7 to Win 10.įor this reason I have purchased Acronis True Image 2020 in order to clone a pre-configured SSD drive (GPT, Basic).Īll Workstations are hardware identical (motherboard, ram, cpu, ssd model and size, even the case is the same).
