Hello,

I need to run a sysprep -mini setup- on a domain
controller so I can change the primarily the key and all
the setup information. If this is done to the domain
controller (single one in this site, but three other
domain controllers in other two sites) will it cause any
complications, problems? Or is it safer to demote the DC
first, run the sysprep -mini setup-, and then promote it
back to a DC? Thank you, your response is greatly
appreciated.
 
If I remember right, you should not run Sysprep on a server that is in
a domain, including member servers. Sysprep should only be run on
computers that are not in a domain.

I would definitely go with the demote/promote process.
