Question about running riprep.exe/RIS 2003

[Robert Gordon]

When I run riprep on my fully customized and ready to be cloned "base image"
workstation/server, does riprep also create a newly generated SID upon
reboot, or does a unique SID get generated by the RIS server when I push the
image out to each subsequent target machine?

Regards,

Rob Gordon

Riprep configures the master system (source computer) to a generic state,
removing anything that is unique to the client installation, such as the
computer's unique security ID (SID), computer name, and any registry
settings unique to the client source computer. So after imaging the system,
it will create a new SID.

Thanks

Where would I find information on how to setup and execute an auto-answer
file, so that I don't havw to re-enter the Product Key, Company Name, etc.
etc. every time I reimage an XP workstation using RIS and riprep?
