any Windows 7 sysadmins here?
so our company is slowly starting to migrate from XP to Windows 7, and currently we don't have any base images to use so each new PC that gets it has it installed from scratch. i've been trying to build an image that will do basic stuff like autojoin the domain, set the timezone, and setup a default user profile (desktop background, icons, IE settings, etc). i'm trying to follow Microsoft's help guide for the Windows Automated Installation Kit to setup an answer file and use sysprep to get the PC ready, but it just isn't working. i build my answer file, use the command prompt to start sysprep and tell it to use the answer file, but it just doesn't work. after a reboot i'm back at the first startup screen and none of my customized settings are imported
anyone have experience with Windows 7 sysprep? it seems so much more bloody complicated than it is in WinXP and it's making me go mental, i've spent far too many hours screwing around with this
