Can I sysprep a windows 2000 sql 2000 machine

[vasquea1]

I am going to have 20 servers that will have w2k and sql 2000 on them. All of them are going to our clients site with the same setup. Can I sysprep the first machine and image the rest.

Hey Vasquea1,

I'm sure there are several utilities that you can use to accomplish this, e.g Norton Ghost.

I use Imagecast at our location. If all 20 workstation have the same specs. I would prep one of the workstation and copy the image using imagecast onto another server, then copy that image to the other 19 workstation.
With Imagecast it takes about 10 mins per workstation, this is a commercial utility.
Am not sure of any freeware\or trial software that you can use. You might want to checkout Norton Ghost also.

Hope this helps,
