When building a master image for cloning and deployment,
are there any ramifications to having the pc that is used
for the initial 'master' build, being joined to a Windows
2k domain prior to packaging it up for cloning with
sysprep? The computer is re-joined to a workgroup and
the computer account is deleted from Active Directory
prior to packaging, but I'm curious if the guid is still
floating around in AD land to cause problems for pc's
being cloned later and coming out of the mini setup on
the same domain.
 
i wouldn't think there'd be an issue as long as you are sysprep -reseal ing
before imaging. this erases the GUID from the master and causes it to
generate a new one upon mini setup.
