The famous SYSPREP utility is a native tool designed by Microsoft for this exact scenario – cloning a Windows OS. Essentially you could purchase just one license and copy it repeatedly which would lead to audit problems further down the line! Option 2. In addition to the above, it’s not a supported delivery mechanism from the Windows licensing point of view. For details, refer to this article by Mark Russinovich. Instead you may have troubles with 3rd party software components that depend upon SIDs and Windows features such as WSUS as cloned VMs may encounter issues getting updates from your WSUS server. Note: Despite the common belief, it won’t bring the issues of a cloned SID (except for a first domain controller to the domain). Even if you fix this on either of them, some applications still might have problems working properly. This however is not a recommended procedure… so why wouldn’t I recommend it? The first problem this method introduces is that you’ll risk a conflict between the original source VM and cloned virtual machine due to network misconfigurations as well as duplicated NetBIOS and FQDN names.
#VEEAM HYPER V MANUAL#
Sounds simple? With this manual copy of the VHD(x) you’ll be able to create a new Hyper-V VM anytime and attach the previously saved virtual hard disk to it. Just power it off, copy its hard disk and then store it somewhere. The easiest way to create a VM template is to create a Hyper-V clone of your existing VM. Now, let’s look at how this can be done! Option 1. This reference VM is called a VM template and it can help you in many ways.

#VEEAM HYPER V INSTALL#
Have you ever gotten tired of doing the same routine operations over and over again? What about that one where you create a new Virtual Machine (VM), install the guest Operating System (OS), enable the necessary features, apply updates and then install the typical set of software? Well, there’s a remedy for this problem and you’ll only need to do everything once! The process includes preparing a base reference VM which can be used later as new applications and services are requested.
