 Hi Michael, there are a number ways to create testing environments with
clean images. I have built a few corporate test labs and would be happy to
help you build one. Microsoft's sysprep used to be the only "working" way to
reproduce clean automated installs (and the only supported). Lately I have
been using Altiris and Ghost and then storing the images on a network share.
With Altiris, you can use a web page to restore the images. 

Both products will change the sid, computer name, network settings and run
3rd party applications after the restore.

Hi all

We are building a Windows test system, to try out tool bars, spy ware,
malware and trojans on.

Once we learn what we need to know, we obviously want to get rid of the junk
quickly and cleanly.

I keep hearing suggestions about having a "clean image" to transfer onto the
computer.

Can anyone send some details?

Is there an official Microsoft way to do this?

Is some sort of over the network OS installation script in order here?

Are there other vendors that do a better job?

Thanks
