Capture vm vs clone disk

$

Hello,

I need to duplicate a vm without sysprep.

Is there any advantages to capturing an image and create a new vm from that image over cloning a vm disk and create a new vm from that disk?

I'm concerning that if I will take a capture or clone the disk the new vm will have the same SID(security  identifier) and it will cause trouble since both the old and new vm's will be in the vnet and in the same domain. Should I worry about that?

Last thing, is it true that capturing a vm will delete the vm? from what I saw in the portal I don't even need to stop the vm in order to capture it, so i'm not sure why some articles say that capturing a vm will delete the vm.

Thank You!
