I have to install 30 dell optiplex, all same type and software.
I setup one, install all software I need and then use sysprep and ghost to
clone this one to the other.
The first problem is with an error explained with article 320279 ( a wrong
value on register) that I've solved following the article.
After this, when the pc start, a lot of services does not starts
autmatically, ex server, dhcp cliente, dns client and other.
What is the problem? Can I use sysprep on a pc that was built by dell with
the same process?
Do I have to reinstall it and then use sysprep?
Thank you
Alessandro

Why not just clone them and use a tool to change the SID afterwards?
 
Agree. Sysprep should work but for 30 computers it ain't worth the hassle. If
they are identical models cloning should be fine.

Plus, with sysprep you lose your user-accounts, which may not matter for a
domain but for a workgroup it means you still have more setting-up to do
post-rollout.
