1. IMAGE CONTROL - I said that sysprep only lets you run 3 times before it's unusable. This is true, but instead of saving to another drive or something. I have downloaded VirtualBox and created my master image as virtual PC. This works fine. I went with VirtualBox because it's free and i lets you take snapshot. So just before you run sysprep you take a snapshot. Once uploaded you just undo the snapshot and your ready to modify again. You can also export the VirtualPC at any snapshot point to backup as a single file. VirtualBox runs on windows and Linux. You will need to download the expansion pack so you can us PXE. This has to be the best way of keeping your image safe and sysprep free. (oh and you can jump back to an old snapshot if your last image update failed for some reason)

Jay20101,
Please read the entire post from top to bottom and follow the steps under Mike_EEC. I've used it and everyone else here has and it works perfectly for both Vista (x86/x64) & Windows 7(x86/x64). First thing first - Stop using MySysprep.exe we are not using it here, we are using the sysprep.exe that came with the OS. Create the EditUnattend.vbs script as described, edit your sysprep.xml using the ‘_COMPUTERNAME_REPLACE_' in the computer name filed and run the sysprep /generalize command as specified. I created a batch script to run the commands here is an example.
Unattend.cmd
sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /unattend:C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.xml /quit
reg add HKLM\System\Setup /v CmdLine /t REG_SZ /d "cmd /c cscript //nologo C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\EditUnattend.vbs" /f
Shutdown /p /d p:2:4
