Hi Wellington,
I used a procedure much like yours on several machines as per a customer's
request. The only difference is that I used the ASR facility, meaning that
during the Windows install, the system drive and system state get restored, and
the result of the install is already "the server you had backed up".
Stangely, this procedure went fine for all non-cluster machines (14) I tested,
but the last pair, a SQL Server cluster, would start issuing messages like
"Could not join cluster. Will retry" every time one of the machines was booted,
although everything worked fine.
The customer said they would try to fix this issue later, and in the meantime
the procedure was approved by them as a "last resource".
Regards,
