Windows Forum / Virtual PC / December 2006Computer names in AD
I have created a 'base' virtual machine of winXP, this went onto the domain named VIRTUAL_PC. I then created a number of difference disks which I thought I could have as different machine names so they behave as completely different computers on the domain but I rename a computer from one of these difference virtual machines and the VIRTUAL_PC name changes in the AD. Why can't all my virtual machines have their own name on the domain? You need to run Sysprep or NewSID before adding a computer to the domain from the same image, > I have created a 'base' virtual machine of winXP, this went onto the domain > named VIRTUAL_PC.

You need to change the machine's System Identifier (SID) as well as the name. Several utilities can do this such as Sysprep, NewSID, or SidGen |
