Im currently in the middle of rolling out windows 7 to a batch of machines we received. for instance 20 x Lenovo X201, 20 x Lenovo L412 and finally 50 x Lenovo PCs.

Im currently in the middle of rolling out windows 7 to a batch of machines we received. for instance 20 x Lenovo X201, 20 x Lenovo L412 and finally 50 x Lenovo PCs.

Unfortunatly we dont have a volume license key, so it gets messy.

can i create the one image, using sysprep / generalize /oobe commands then capture the image using imagex (wim file) then rollout the image via Win PE to all of the machines, or do i need to create one image per batch because of the OEM limitations(license keys, etc)

Also on another note, if this is possible can i create an answer file for these machines and leave the answer file - product key field blank.

Hope this makes sense to someone.
