Background: In Vcenter, after you create a new 2003 virtual machine, you can quickly clone a virtual machine, but there is a problem: the SID for the cloned host is the same, and the hostname is the same. If you do not join the domain OK, if you want to join the domain, then the problem comes, the same SID host is no way to add domain. Therefore, you can use the template method to solve this problem.
Note 1: The problem I mentioned is only 2003,2003_x64,xp,xp_64,2000 have such a problem.
NOTE 2:
2008/2008R2/VISTA/WIN7/WIN8.X/12/12R2, no Deployment Files (Sysprep) are required;
1, first install a VM;
2, the custom specification inside to set.
Workaround:
1. Create a new VM2003 (take 2003_x64 as an example)
2. Deployment Files (Sysprep)
2.1 Copy the Support\tools\deploy from the 2003 disc. CAB, extracting the Setupcl.exe and Sysprep.exe files from it.
2.2 Copied to the Vcenter host directory C:\Users\All users\vmware\vmware virtualcenter\sysprep\svr2003-64.

3. On the virtual machine (shutdown state), right-click----template------converted to a template.

Complete. Now you can quickly deploy a virtual machine with a template.
