Has anyone got any experience with Windows 7 & Sysprep, specifically I'm after help putting together a sysprep that will ask for a CD Key, computer name and then join a domain.  Piece of cake in XP but Microsoft has really taken the biscuit with sysprep in Windows 7.

At work we're about to start replacing a fleet of about 350 PC's on 15th May and so far we haven't been able to get sysprep working (Its good at bricking Windows installs though!).  Its not helped that for the last 6 weeks I've had to concentrate on helpdesk calls as we've been getting more calls than usual and had someone off with a broken elbow, prior to which I was actually starting to get somewhere with it but now its starting to get a bit too close to the start of the deploy so could do with some help.

Don't be silly that's far to sensible for where I work, instead we're using the license key on the side of the PC at least as far as I know, the IT Network Manager hasn't exactly been forthcoming with information at times.

We're having our first meeting about the project tomorrow (more a talking too than actual discussion about it I bet) and we've been doing the project since the end of Jan.  No one even knew when a contractor, which we're being forced to use by the higher ups in the company, we're using to do the actual imaging and physical machine swaps came in to get a test PC we had to  be imaged for an initial image to start off with.  Even though we hadn't done anything to make the image work.  This is going to go soo well

We use MSDN keys here so a bit easier - but rather than build it all in to sysprep we use sysprep for the bare essentials then just run a script at the end on each machine which does:

1) installs any non sysprep friendly apps (cisco vpn client for one...)
2) runs any necesary activations
3) renames PC (prompts)

then we just add to domain outselves. We could probably automate this but we figured we'd lose more time making this reliable than just doing it manually.
