Deploying W2k Copy the OS!!

by faisalmasood . Updated 23 years, 11 months ago

Regarding the win2000 deployment, one my of friend gave me an idea, which his brother used to deploy Win2k.

Here we purchase the systems with same hardware..
The idea is that install win2000 on a new PC with all softwares say we call it PC1. Take the HD out of the box & put it on any system which is already running on network say PC-old. Then copy all the files / folders from the newly built PC1 to the PC-old. Then Take the HD of PC1 & put HD of another new PC on which you want to installOS say PC2 in PC-old. Now copy the files / folder of PC1 to this PC2.

Then put the HDs in their respective boxes & run the system. If there is any error of NTldr etc then replace those files. Otherwise the system works fine.

Well I think thisway the SID of PCs would be same which would result in problems.

So tell me is this method correct?

What would be the errors / problems which we would face with these systems?

How could we rectify / overcome thoes problems?

Is there a small utility which can change the SID?
