Creating an image but have a question??

Tuffers · 27 Aug 2008 at 11:37

We dont have a VLK as only a small company but all the laptops are the same. Is is possible to get one laptop setup exactly how I want and then image it but somehow force a CD key and Computer Name during the image install?

So what I mean is i'm configuring a laptop at the mo with all the software on it we use. I then image it. When I use that image on the other laptops I want to be able to enter their key and change the computer name during the install.

Use a Microsoft tool called sysprep and select the box called mini-setup before you image.
