Microsoft Policies for Using Sysprep

[Alan]

Good Morning,

I am trying to convince a person at my office to use
sysprep instead of Ghostwalker, I am looking for any
information to help me do this. I have heard that
Microsoft will not support anything but Sysprep. Is there
an official policy document out there somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Alan,
This article should be what you are looking for:
162001 Do Not Disk Duplicate Installed Versions of Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=162001
In particular this statement:
Microsoft does not provide support for computers that were set up
with SID duplicating tools other than the System Preparation tool.
Thanks,
