I have an accounting VM (Windows 7) setup with all the software setup already and it's exactly the way I want it now my question is that I have one accountant who uses and older XP VM. Can I just clone the existing windows 7 VM and give it a different IP? I know during the clone I can configure it and create a new SID so that i'm not concerned about but seems like the right move. Any downside to that?
No downside. Go ahead and clone the one & make appropriate configuration (SID/IP etc)
Sounds like a good idea. However, in addition to making Windows unique (i.e. new hostname, SID, network settings), you need to check whether the software you are running on the client also supports cloning (from a technical as well as from a licensing point of view).

Seems to be working well so far.
