[Samba] Re: Samba Domain Login

[Jim Wharton]

Microsoft provides sysprep for this purpose. It is downloadable from their
website. There is an option to run sysprep without having to run the whole
minisetup routine.

Symantec, Sysinternals and Powerquest also provide utilities to do the same
thing.
