    Hi , I have a Mac OS X 10.7 with a Parallel Windows 7 Enterprise VM installed. I want to use this as a Master image to images 24 other Macs. Is there any issues with using the same Parallels VM as part of an image?

    Should I just import the Parallels VM seperatley into each of the newly imaged Macs once they have been imaged?

    Appreciate any info...

    There might be an issue with all of the virtual machines having the same MAC address. I don't know exactly what the issues are but I believe this is what Parallels changes if you select "copy" instead of "move" when it asks where the virtual machine came from when you import it.

    If you don't do an import, then it might be sufficient to change the MAC address manually:
    Before running the virtual machine, click the Generate button for the virtual network adapter in the virtual machine's hardware configuration to create a new MAC address.
