Clone a Windows 2003 Std x64 TerminalServer (without Citrix)

[Guest Wolfgang Bauer]

Dear Group,

 

I have a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edt. x64 with Terminal Services

enabled and some programs installed (Office 2007, MS Dynamics AX, aso.) and

want to duplicate this server to a second machine (same

model/type/hardware).

Some people say that newSID is not working fine with x64 Windows 2003

server.

Is this right, are there any other methods to do this?

 

My plan is:

 

Change one mirroring disk to the second (empty) server, boot him (without

network), remove from domain (he's a member server), change name, change ip,

make NEWSID (with tool version 4.10), reboot again (with network), assign to

domain, finish.

What do you mean?

 

regards

Wolfgang

I'm confronted with exactly the same situation (except I have Enterprise

editiion OS)

 

I think I just am going to try this since it looks like the fastest way to

make an exact copy of an existing server.

 

I'll post back with results

 

regards,

Rob
