Hi Experts<br />
<br />
I’m in the process of rolling out 40 PCs onto a domain, to make life easier I setup a PC with all the updates and software we use and then created an image. I’m then imaging the PC's, changing the PC name, changing the windows key and then joining to the domain. <br />
<br />
Can anyone see any problems with this approach? It has been suggested that I should run sysprep, however when I do I get the following error:<br />
<br />
sysprep a fatal error occured while trying to sysprep the machine<br />
<br />
Im tempted to go ahead without running sysprep as everthing seems to be working fine, is this wise or should I look further into resolving the sysprep error?
