Clonezilla do i need to use Sysprep

[MattDLEA]

So just took hold of some laptops for teachers at home.

In the past when I have used clonezilla I have just cloned a pc as is, put it on another one and gone in and changed the computer name and licence key. This seams to work.

 

However is this the correct way of doing it.

 

I have got the new laptop, installed windows, office and apps that are needed and also run windows update.

do as normal or run sysprep ?

Depends. Are you building a reference machine from scratch and then cloning - or starting with a customised manufacturers installation.

 

If you are doing a scratch build then it makes sense to sysprep before deployment. That's the way I do it. Been using Clonezilla for a few years now and successfully cloned Windows and Linux based systems - invaluable tool.
