Imaging Vista

I am trying to image an HP tablet with Vista Enterprise. Ultimately I will
be (hopefully) using Symantec Ghost Solutions Suit 2 to multicast this image
to multiple Tablets. I installed Vista Enterprise and all other relevant
software on the tablet. So my question is how do I reconstruct the xp
sysprep.inf file along with copying the profile to the default user. I have
been testing a little with BDD 2007 and SIM but I’m very confused as to what
components need to be in which pass for the answer file. As well as, where
will this answer file reside. Seeing that I need everything in the *.gho
file, so when the image is distributed to a client the mini-setup is
automated except “computer name�. Below is our typical “XP sp3� sysprep.inf
file that I would like to reconstruct into an answer file.

If you are going to be using this image across several different
platforms, check out Universal Imaging Utility-handles all the
sysprep.inf files for you and your hardware doesn't have to be the same
