Maybe you should explain a bit
more as I still do not understand what you want to acchieve!
You have said: "The reason for reimage is for new departmental standards (
look and feel ). " --> this sounds like creating a new configuration
and image
You have said: "you want to re-image pc's that are domain members. You
want to immediately rejoin domain using same
name."
Explain why you want to re-image the EXISTING PCs and rejoin them. How
are you thinking to get the new look and feel by doing this?

You stated:
* When distributing restore the
image.... SYSPREP runs.... Enter a
computername (if it an existing previous computername reset the computer
account in AD), join to domain et voila
computername (if it an existing previous computername reset the computer
account in AD), join to domain et voila
Computer names will be existing. My original
question was do I remove from domain then image and rejoin or image and reset
account.
Are you saying to image, reset account then rejoin,
and will this work given the site structure?
