I've done it both ways. I usually try to have the AD objects created first. If you create the AD object first the machine will get the right GPOs right off the bat. It's less work that way, especially if you use software installation GPOs. The machine is 100% ready to go sooner. Joe Heaton

CMIIW, Doesn't imagex just create/mount images, and peimg /inf is what injected drivers. In the case of XP, you still use sysprep, but can mount the image and adjust the sysprep.inf? So you ImageX doesn't relaly have anything to do with the drivers, its peimg in vista, and still sysprep in XP?
