I have 2 Win7 systems which I created from a single VM image (running on VMWare ESX 4), when I started up FAH, both systems received the same A3 WU (6021 Run 0, Clone 158, Gen 118).
Is this expected?
2 systems (from 1 base VM image) have received the same WU

Yes, because with the same image comes the same System ID/Machine ID. Changing either of those values in the registry and client configuration, respectively, would let you download different work units on the two systems.

Re: 2 systems (from 1 base VM image) have received the same WU
Best solution would be to delete the System ID registry entry in the second VM, and let FAH download a new one. But what wrish said will work.
Vista puts the entry in a location like this. Win 7 may be similar, maybe not.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PandeGroup\Folding@home

How to provide enough information to get helpful support
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
