I am having a couple of issues when trying to deploy a clone a resource vm to development vm. Running Windows Server 2008 R2, and resource VM has 6 separate VHDs. the drive letters for the separate volumes are not sequential.
The following is a list of volume letters: C, G, H, L, S, P
1) Following sysprep, first 3 volumes are online, but the volume letters are reset for volume 2 and 3 to D and E. The system does not always boot, blue screens. Boot into WinPE, and run diskpart, find the last 3 volumes offline and no volume letters assign. I bring the volumes online, and can boot windows. In disk management I re-assign the L, S and P to the volumes 3-6 and reassign volumes 2 and 3 to be G and H. Now all volumes are accessibile.
2) Second issue I have is once the volumes have the correct drive letter, I check the NTFS Permissions and find that the NTFS Permissions have reverted to SIDS and not the friendly group and username.
What can I do to prevent the VHDs from going offline, and at the same time preserve the NTFS Permissions?
Resource VM is a work group not part of a domain.
