A great option for those of us who live by virtual environments, SQL Server 2008 R2 sysprep
For a long time when creating images for my development environment, I had to install the OS and then sysprep. Only after that would I then create a differencing drive/image that would have SQL Server. So, the thought of having a base/core image for SQL Server as a template was not easily done. Well, how do things change? SQL Server 2008 R2 gives us the option now.
