What's the best way to go about creating a (Virtual PC/Server) virtual machine from a VHD template? Specifically, what's the best way to change the name of a virtual PC so that it is unique on a network, preferably without loading the the VM?

reseal the VM with sysprep before you create the template. this will make every VM derived from the sysprepped template unique

just leave the computername field empty in the sysprep file n you'll be able to set the name @ the minisetup – MrTimpi Sep 22 '09 at 10:50
