I like to install windows fresh, apply all updates and new drivers, customize the environment/add some branding, then run sysprep and make an image... that way when using the image it comes to OOBE and asks for product key but SIDs are changed and drivers are all fresh. With vista, when i run sysprep with oobe and generalize switches, when it reboots to oobe it doesn't ask for a product key and it deletes all the drivers i installed before sysprepping, but my customizations/environments settings seem to be retained what can i do? i don't want to make images and have to manually update the drivers, i don't want to script them either, i just want them to stay during a sysprep :/ thanks
