boot and choosing WDS Vista harddisk will be wiped (1 partition will be created) and installation begins automaticly-workstation will be joined to the domain with correct workstation name (assuming workstation is prestaged for RIS)-www.google.nl will be set as homepage-local administrator account will be enabled and a local password will be set-UAC will be turned off-a custom script (custom.bat) will copy extra gadgets to the local harddrive:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <servicing></servicing> <settings pass="windowsPE">
