I've recently used SysPrep. According to Microsoft it is
primarily a tool for OEM's. There are settings that will
be lost by using SysPrep. For a small number of deploys
you might be better served by using a SysInternals tool
called NewSid. This will allow you to "Clone" your PC's
and avoid Mini-Setup and other SysPrep features.
