computer has the same security identifier (SID) and computer name. This may prevent the cloned
computers from functioning correctly in a workgroup or a domain. To work around this problem,
administrators use the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) to remove configuration settings that are
unique to the computer such as the computer name and SID. The resulting image can then be safely
reused for installation on other computers." This issue also exists in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP,
and thus computers running those operating systems must be prepared as well.
To download Microsoft System Preparation tool, click on your operating system: Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP. Microsoft System Preparation tool for Windows Server 2003 is available in
the Deploy.cab archive that resides in the \Support\Tools\ folder of Windows Server 2003 installation CD.
In brief, here is how you prepare your disk drive to create a master clone image or to migrate data:
Create Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows bootable rescue media with Rescue Media Builder
available in the Tools menu of Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows.
1. Run sysprep.exe. Microsoft give you the option to specify the following keys:
a. -nosidgen — If you plan to erase all data from the original hard disk and/or do not plan to
use both original and new hard disks in different computers simultaneously, use this option.
b. -mini — if you plan to migrate your operating system to a computer with different
hardware.
2. Prepare to reboot the computer. First, put the Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows
bootable rescue media in the CD drive and boot the system. Now run the program and create an
image of the prepared hard disk.
3. Install the new hard drive into your computer or take the image you just made to your new
computer.
4. Boot from Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows rescue media again and restore the image
to the new hard drive or computer.
5. Reboot the computer.
We recommend you to read Microsoft articles regarding using sysprep on your operating system, available
at the following links: Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003.
I have complex applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or Microsoft Exchange
running on my server. I plan to create an image, but I'm not sure if these applications can be
running during the imaging process. What should I do?
Although Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows takes care of hard disk and filesystem-level
consistency via snapshot technology, it could not guarantee application-level consistency. We recommend
you to suspend complex servers such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle or Microsoft Exchange before pressing the
Proceed button on the last page of the Acronis True Image 8.0 Server for Windows Create Image wizard,
or before starting a scheduled task. Once the imaging process starts, you can resume server operations.
It is not necessary to suspend the applications for the duration of the imaging process.
