Is there a way to clone Windows server setup along with installed softwares &/ configuration on to similar configuration target server?.
Source & Destination server is with Windows 2019 Server.
Looked at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/ad-forest-recovery-backing-up-a-full-server & unsure if this handles replicating softwares setup on source machine along with configuration on to destination machine.
Docker is not good fit, as base/source machine is with many different vendor specific softwares & some customization applied manually post usual wizard/command util installation.
Kindly suggest if there is better/viable option to address this.
p.s : Checked this link as well : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/sysprep--system-preparation--overview?view=windows-11 . Not sure if it supported for Windows 2019 server version.
