Sysprep already exists when trying to deploy machines with New-QVWComputer

New-QVWComputer : A SysPrep customization with the name [SERVERNAME] already exists.

      Run SQL Server Management Studio on your database server
      Find the vWorkspace database
      Find the dbo.DmSyspreps table
      Right Click on the table > Edit Top 200 Rows
      Right Click in the right hand pane > Pane > SQL
      Add “WHERE        (SysprepName = 'SERVERNAME')” to the end of the query
      Right click > Execute SQL


Change the sysprep name of the machine which wasn’t fully deleted. I cancelled the provisioning task which meant it wasn’t cleaned up from the DB. It should be safe to delete the line, but I wanted to make sure all was OK when doing it.
