Anything other than copyprofile set to true in a sysprep unattend.xml file will lead to a disaster that will haunt you for months.
You will end up with registry keys for your users that show their desktops and folders set up as c:\users\LocalAdminThatYouUsed\desktop for example. Instead of %username%\desktop. It will be ugly and you will have to redo them all. There will be hidden little gems of disaster like that all over the place. I know this, really I do. First hand. WIA toolkit/sysprep/unattend.xml is not fun. But once you get one of them right, you will be all done and you can move on.

I really don't want to use the WIA toolkit and last time I tried to sysprep using /generalize /unattend:<my unattend.xml file> it didn't work for me as expected. I'm guessing and hoping there is a much simpler way.
