Hi,
I need to clone a hyper-v VM which is connected to the domain. Is running the below command enough and will I be able to connect the cloned VM to the domain with a different SID?
sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /mode:vm

Should be fine, just make sure you know the password for a local account with admin rights.

Cloned but cannot login with domain account remotely.
You'll likely need to logon locally and rejoin the domain.
