Hmm...  Did you completely DELETE the %TEMP%\AFSCache file before 
cloning the system?  This is specifically mentioned in the release notes 
and weird things happen if you have multiple systems based off of the 
same image.  The AFS uuid is stored in the cache file and multiple 
machines can look like the same client if these are not unique.

No and yes.&nbsp; According to section 3.38 of release notes, if SID is
regenerated by sysprep then<br>
there is no need to delete the file.&nbsp; However, I did eventually delete
the cache file as I was <br>
troubleshooting.<br>

Sysprep by itself does not take care of duplicate UUIDs.  You need to 
delete the AFSCache file.

Or run fs uuid -generate
