The slides are cool, but, hey, humans are better :) Would there happen to be a recorded video of those presentations ? The slides are cool, but, hey, humans are better :)

]]> Comment on Building FactoryGirl.NET by James http://jameskovacs.com/2012/03/20/building-factorygirl-net/comment-page-1/#comment-35826 James Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:32:22 +0000 http://jameskovacs.com/2012/03/20/building-factorygirl-net/#comment-35826 Very similar idea. Personally I prefer using a ctor and/or object initializer to define my factories rather than anonymous objects. The problem with anonymous objects is that they're not refactoring-friendly. Plant looks like a good, clean library though. Very similar idea. Personally I prefer using a ctor and/or object initializer to define my factories rather than anonymous objects.

I have some familiarity with sysprep for getting testing/dev VMs up and running, but do not purport to be an expert. I would recommend asking your questions on ServerFault.com so that you can get answers from real experts. Please note that I am a developer, not a sysadmin.

I have a question for you ... Hope that someone will be able to help me ... My customer has cloned a Windows 2008 Server R2 three times in order to have some lab machines. Now he has attempted to join them to the Active Directory where two Domain Controllers exist. One of them is the machine from which the others W2K8 systems have been cloned with VMWare. Now he gets some problems that seems due to the fact that Systems have the same SID. Does anybody know a correct way to renew the SID in these VMs? Is not a license problem, customer has the right license for each server. It's just a need to have more than one system working in a few time. Hope someone can give me some suggestion Thanks.

For one thing, there is a Hotfix / patch of sorts that 'allegedly' puts on the 64-bit Sysprep tool and the accompanying deploy.cab file for 64-bit versions (especially W2k3 R2 64-bit; the install of the w2k3 o/s does not automatically install sysprep); next, for whatever reason, W2k8 also does NOT always install sysprep - don't ask why - i'm not sure. So, there are some subtle syswow64 differences and along those lines; wow6432 also maybe? AND, last but not least, you never answered "Alex's" comment, which is the issue I am having: 2008 Server Enterprise 64bit I tried C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\sysprep\sysprep.exe and both of them giving me a message: ====== System Preparation Tool 3.14 —— The 32-bit version of OPK tools does not support WOW64. Please use the 64-bit version of the OPK tools instead. ====== :( Alex.
