cloned machines and sysprep

neathneathneath

I know that its good practice to sysprep machines that are cloned but what symptoms would you get if you had several pc's on the network that were cloned from the same image and not syprepped? I understand about SID's being the same etc.

Its not something I would do - I'm just asking if sysprepping a pc that does not like the network and keeps hanging, very slow browsing the network etc.
This pc has been renamed a couple of times but not sysprepped recently.

any ideas?

I've done it before and experienced no issues. As long as you rename the computers. In my experience, my image had a batch file in the run once part of the registry that renamed the computer and then joined it to the domain.
