Ok, that's cool I worry more about the SID. As long as the Sid is taken
care of you are golden.

I have even done this back with older Compaq models.
One good way to go is to do what you are doing and just prior run your
sysprep and other preps just like imaging. And of course keep a spare
drive on the shelf.

On a Compaq DL360 with a RAID-1 array using the integrated Smart Array
Controller:

Shut down the server normally, remove hard drive 1 (the one on the
right)

Boot up, press F2 for rebuild drive.

When you get to the OS on the reboot, simply pop in another hard drive
and
let the mirror re-create.

Now you can play around and mess things up....if you need to, shut down
and
remove both drives, then just put the old HD 1 in the RIGHT HD slot and
boot
up....voila you're back where you were.

This can also be used to create a Citrix farm that is exactly the same
on
each server, just keep breaking the mirrors and bringing up a new
server.
Re-IP and rename and join your domain and you've got a carbon copy
server.

Cheers!
