Hi Folks, I would like to know how can I build a virtual machine on W2k8
Hyper-V as a "Template", which just like I build a VM on VPC and can be clone
it for more copys? I would like to build a native Windows server OS and copy
it for many copys to build other service above it

As u know after exported a machine from Hyper-V manager, it can only be
import one time, any idea?

Yes, you can do many of the same things. You'd need to sysprep the image,
you can copy the VHDs, but you'd need to create new VMs and then point them
to the copied VHDs.

What Paul and Robert said. NewSID works just fine, but it's NOT a supported
solution.

The best method is to use software which is designed to do that sort of
job, such as SCVMM or WDS.
