Ok guys I need some real help. I have ghosted for years since 99 actually. I am just not getting this sysprep for Windows 7.
I want to use the imagex / sysprep / unattended xml method. I have actually done it on a USB drive but the I need a default profile that sticks so I don't have to re install as the domain admin? I really need help guys I feel like a newb all over again. I think it is the meds I am on making my memory fail but honestly I don't care. I would just like an example of how to and a brief discussion on why then I should be good to go... I will be rolling this out from my department 15 at a time to branch locations and department but don't have the manpower or bandwidth to use the big SCCM type tools. Thanks David Oh and I am currently still on a Windows 2003 domain.

I built my image I created my ufd's I imagex 'd my image after sysprep with unattend and it creates a good sized wim file. Then on the mini setup I explode. If I do it without the unattend everything works I just have more questions to answer. Any help after the flames and I am retarded comments would be greatly appreciated.
