I have VHDs of Web Servers (IIS) and Database Servers (SQL). Can I safely copy/paste the VHDs and create new Virtual Machines from those without a sysprep?
Questions:
- The machines will have identical SID. Is that a problem?
- Will it break the SQL Server / IIS configuration if I change the name?
Notes:
- All hosts and VMs are running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
- My machines are not part of a domain.
