Third you will need to correct the security identifier (SID) and
hostname of each running windows image, since imho you will not be able
to concurrently run multiple windows versions from one image on the same
network, having identical SIDs and Hostnames. The newsid tool comes
handy for this, but you will need to find out how to do this
automagically, I am afraid.
