A number of steps automatically occur behind the scenes when a snapshot image is being applied to a new server or a server added to an existing server group. |
Following is a summary of the process that automatically occurs:
The new server is booted with a copy of the snapshot image.
The server gets a new IP via DHCP.
A script performs nslookup
based on the new IP address. If the machine name does not match the results
of the name lookup, the rest of the script changes the name of the machine.
The machine reboots with the new name.
The script performs the nslookup
and compares the hostname against the machine name. If the
name is the same, sysprep is run to clear the SID.
The machine reboots with the new hostname and new SID.
