VM Template
when we need to create a VM template, do we need first to use a powered on VM , then "Clone to Template" ?
after the template has been created do we need to customize the VM so that it will have unique SID?
I might have posted similar question in the past, but since I have not used it, I forgot about the answer.
Thank you

@rajivkumar07, if you used your method, wouldn't all your VMs have the same SID?

2 - Convert it to the template and shut it off since templates should not be turned on anyways.
3 - Clone it from that template.
4 - Do not need to run sysprep if cloned from a template.
Sysprep is needed if cloned from a non-template.
Cloning is possible whether you are cloning from a VM that is turned off or on.
