Sysprep for Vista - Automated Join Domain?

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, Vista
We have 300 Laptops to deploy in the coming weeks, and have no choice bu to roll with Vista (I quite like it myself).

The only problem is that we have no idea what tools are available for building an image that will launch the Mini Install when the user first turns on the system. We are really hoping that we can script a few actions like alter machine name and join to domain etc etc. The rest of our settings can be set using group policy.

We are really trying to avoid joining the machines to our domain manually but have no idea exactly what tools exist for us to automate this process and then build the functionality into the image.

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.
