I have two virtual machines running in google cloud. They both run MS Server 2012.

It appears that the person who created them used a clone as the machine SID's are the same. This is now causing a problem for things such as WebRoot AV which identify the machines using the SID.

In AWS this is resolved by using the AWS sysprep tool, how can I get solve this s the Google environment?

Thanks all.

Sysprep tool is a built-in tool that comes with windows itself. So i would suggest you run sysprep by following this guide. Note that this wipe out anything installed on your VM.

  • I realise that sysprep is a windows tool, its just that AWS gives you an amazon front end to ensure you keep connectivity to the machine post sysprep. The last thing i need is to lose access to the box due to first boot config screen. I guess just an unattend xml would be the answer? – Mr_M_Cox Oct 25 '16 at 14:10
