Hi
Interesting discussion here, im a tech for schools too, im using a cloning software since many years (ghost or acronis) because this way we can have a bank of clone image readily available .
Win7 was ok with cloning, but since Win8, it happen they lose the trust approbation of the domain, so im trying to find a way to avoid this. I was not using sysprep since we can clone a pc and just change the name and add it to domain and its ready with a default profile, deepfreeze and BrowseControl, printers, softwares, icon on desktop, wifi…
I have found sysprep too much time consuming, adding info and using script… the other way, you just configure a station and clone it! easy and fast and could be done with multicast.
Now i have to think if we should buy the software for the newsid or take some time to get back into Sysprep. Thanks for all input, the sysprep explanation are very helpful since i have used sysprep many years ago…
