I am having problems with running sysprep on some new Windows 7 64-bit machines that we just got in. 

 

Here is what I have: Dell Optiplex 780, Windows 7 64-bit operating system.  We do not have a volume license; we just use the product key that is on the machine.

 

Here is what I want to do after running sysprep: Want to be able to enter a computer name, product key, and join the domain by adding my user name and password (I can not add this to the answer file since my password changes.)

 

We have different image for every type of machine that we have here. We are using Norton Ghost version 8. I run the command sysprep /oobe /shutdown /unattend:sysprep.xml.  Do not use /generalize since I have an image for every different machine type.  

 

I have included a copy of me answer file.
