Question : Cloning

Hi. I have painstakingly configured a virgin Win 7 install for our domain. Took hours. Avoided applying any specific drivers. Now, how do I clone it, how do I apply our enterprise (XP) license to each new copy (if possible), and how do I ensure that each copy is bootable?

And...is this procedure documented for Win 7 yet?

Thanks.

This seems to work. Please see the FOLLOWLOCATION change near line 25.
