Fully automated Sysprep deploy on multi-hardware configs
Long story short, I'm using FOG and and a Windows XP Pro VL key. I've already tested one image upload to FOG, and it can deploy/upload just fine.
What I'd like to do is create a multi-hardware (about 3 different types of Dell Desktops) configed sysprep image so I can have one solid image to deploy whenever we get new users. I also would like to get the image to a fully-automated install stage so end user's won't have to do a thing (or very little) except log in and be ready to go.
I know for automated installs I'll have to edit the sysprep.inf file, but will I need to edit the winbom file as well?
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Follow the steps below:
- Install and configure Windows Server operating system and application on a computer;
- Run Sysprep.exe (and optionally - Setup Manager wizard to create a Sysprep.inf file) to prepare computer for duplication;
- Restart the computer when Sysprep is complete and create a master image (using third-party disk image software);
- Copy image to the multiple destination computers;
- Restart the destination computers.

I'm aware of that process, but thanks for the heads up.
What I'm really looking for is what to do so that I can have one universal image for, say, 3 to 4 different desktop hardware configurations. They are all different model Dell Desktops.
I've been reading that you have to define the drivers in the sysprep.inf file under [Unattended] section. Something about OemPnPDriverInstall=*specify*
Any ideas?
