I, too, have to build gold images for Optiplexes and Latitudes. (So many people around the world doing the same job over and over again..). -I run the unattend and the sysprep on a VM(ware). It works great. -Also, by booting under PE (so easy in VM), I just add additional drivers without the need for a rebuilt. And, believe it or not, I run the BDD+the (Vista) reference machine in a virtual team. This sandbox concept is really cool (for media-based DP). Question: we are going dual-vendor Dell+Fujitsu-S. or Dell+HP. What would you choose? From a unified image point of view, which vendor makes it the most difficult ?
