HOW TO: Use Sysprep.exe Tool

HOW TO: Set Up Administrative Alerts in Windows XP You can receive notifications of computer problems by creating an alert. When computer performance measurements indicate a problem, the alert that you created performs the action that you specified, such as sending a message or starting a program. You can use such alerts to monitor critical computers such as servers that provide services for network users, or workstations that must always be available.

HOW TO: Use Sysprep.exe Tool Sysprep is a simple utility that prepares a computer for duplication (cloning) and customisation. It does not in itself perform the actual duplication of the master image onto target machines (third-party utilities such as Ghost are required for this purpose), but ensures that the security identifiers (SIDs) are unique for each target system. Further, Sysprep invokes the Mini-Setup Wizard, which can be used to customize duplicated images with computer-specific information such as user name, computer name, time zone, and domain membership.
