Im going to image a bunch of XP and 2000 machines but the business doesnt own a volume key, just OEM keys attached to the side of the PC.
What is the best practice for imaging a single image on all these machines? Should I just take the image with a single key and then change it with some tool (registry?) after the first boot?
The solution I need needs to work in 2000 pro too. So I'll be working with at least two images, one for XP and another for 2000. In the past Ive done this with volume keys only. Thanks!
PS In the past I never imaged a machine that was on the domain. Is it possible to make an image of a domain computer after its been removed from the domain? I guess I should be able to generate a unique identifier with a free tool.
