Sysprep

[1BadBird]

Alright I need some help here is the scenario:
I am looking to image about 150 computers of varying models. I am looking to use Symantec ghostcastserver to distribute the images to the machines and hopefully use sysprep to partially automate the install. I know that I read somewhere that it is possible to use the same image for varying models of comps and be able to use the $OEM$ folder to have drivers for NIC,audio, and video. My question is is this true?? If I set the OEMPreinstall key in the sysprep.inf file to Yes and create seperate folders in the $OEM$ folder for the varying drivers will setup use these drivers for the machines?? thus allowing me to use one image for the different machines???

Technically yes. Although in the sysprep.inf under the Unattended section set the OEMPnpdrivers = \\folderpath to drivers; seperated by a semi colon.

Create the $OEM$\$1\folder for drivers

I have had trouble getting this to work with intel NIC drivers.

Keep me posted.

thanks Hewissa, It seemed like it would work but just wanted to check.
