Steps to take

  • Remove system to clone from domain
  • turn off Encrypting File System (EFS)
  • create a folder named C:\Sysprep
  • find SUPPORT\TOOLS\
  • doubleclick on DEPLOY.CAB
  • copy sysprep.exe, setupcl.exe, setupmgr.exe, factory.exe, deploy.chm and ref.chm to C:\Sysprep
  • run C:\Sysprep\setupmgr.exe
  • select "sysprep setup"


Sysprep

sysprep is needed to ensure uniqueness of SID ( Security IDentifier). If these are duplicated only one system would be able to join a domain. Another solution is using SID changer.
