Hello all,
Just curious on how quickprep works with linked-clones. according to this table it doesn't do a sysprep. So even though you are created linked clones from snapshots wouldn't you still need a new SID per clone otherwise GPO's and other Active Directory processes would get confused or see SID conflicts?
