Les,
don't make it from scratch as you think.
ok, my installation takes 30mins and it just uses automated installation rutines with pre-installation, ghost and such things and then logonscript for software installation after domain logon.

I know it takes some minutes more to execute, but once got it working some time ago haven't had need to investigate in sysprep.

this way, when only system is installed from the cd, the rest of the installation can be altered from that script which is taken from server.

this way, I need only 1 image for all system compinations and types.

and that's the reason why I don't want to use sysprep neither...

not needed.

cheers and chipadiis,
