DC from syspreped vhdx

in lab I am usually using generalized vhdx for VMs

I just set up a new AD with DC from syspreped Server 2012.

First trouble I hit setting up time. After some troubleshooting I unregister/reregister time service.

But could not start it. And the error was related to SID. So I just reinstalling DC from ISO.

The question: is it known that DC must not be created from syspreped disk?

Does such a disk could create troubles with other member servers like SQL, SCCM?

Thanks.

Hi,

I belive when using sysprep (the only supported way to change sid), it should be okay, as long to check 'generalize' in the sysprep wizard.

Does the image contain any roles, and was is it a domain member? And was it the first dc in the domain?

sypreped image was virgin...

And I discovered "complains" about SID dealing with time service. I didn't want to spend time anymore on troubleshooting SID issue and just reinstalled and patching 2 new VMs.

Just wanted to know for the future DC from generalized disk behavior.

I guess it could be some other hidden things.
