Ok, so after pages and pages and pages (and pages and pages) of
information I finally figured out how to sit down and create my
unattend.xml file.

So currently I am working on building this unattend.xml file.

Please note that I have already setup my laptop with all required
software. Logged in as a user and set everything up the way I wanted
it. Then logged in as an administrator and copied that setup user's
profile as the default profile. So the only thing left to do is run
sysprep and Ghost my PC.

But the new sysprep is....wow.... very complicated and quite
convoluted. What I want to do in my sysprep is very simple in nature,
but I need help figuring out which items I need to choose to make it
happen.

The WinXP Sysprep allowed for a "mini-setup". Can the Vista Sysprep do
this too? Because I don't 'fully' want to automate the installation.
I'll explain...
This is all what I want to do in my sysprep:1) Insert Product
Key (it's the same for all machines)
2) Admin password & encrypt it (if this is already setup than I assume
I will not have to worry about this and we could skip this option)
2) Computer Name (i want to input this manually once a newly imaged
computer boots up since each computer will need a unique name based on
it's user)
3) Join to Domain (after I input the computer name manually it would
automatically join that PC to our domain based on pre-entered domain
name, user\password)
4) Reset the SID
I apologize if this sounds very NOOB-ish, but I'm in the
process of building the images now for all the new computers coming in
and I don't have the time to sit and go through this at my own pace.
Any help is greatly, greatly appriciated!!

Thanks,
Josh
