[sdw2003] NewSID and W2K8 R2...darn.

[Lawrence]

The new Vista/Server 2008 unattended build process is different than the
ways of old, but pretty powerful once you get the hang of it. 

At work, we have a std build image we use - unattended for Server 2003 and a
separate one for Server 2008 (32 and 64-bit)
- The process takes about 1 hour, but that includes SP2, hotfixes thru Sept,
and a number of customizations incl base support tool/misc software installs
(TreeSize,7-zip, etc.)

under W2K8 R2...

I see many of you are looking how to change SID using NewSID, but New SID is
not officially supported by Microsoft. You could use NewSID on Windows
Server 2008, but when you try to use it on Windows Server 2008
R2 it won't work, actually, it will "destroy" the operating system.

Time to re-learn sysprep I guess. Anyone else know of a quick way to deploy
multiple W2K8 R2 servers?
