Okay-

is it possible to preinstall the NBU client on a server image that will be sysprepped? if so then are there any limitations?

Hi Nathan,

I'm sure the installation routine will leave the client hostname somewhere on the client.

Sysprepping will *not* find that name: You will have to change that manually, after you restored your Sysprep on another server (And restart the service).

Might I also suggest you set the client service in a STOPPED state before making the sysprep: When the new machine starts, Netbackup at least won't get confused on which host has what IP address...

After restoring you should set it to automatic start again ofcourse...
