Hello everyone,

Thanks to Egan i was finally able to completely integrate xCat with 
diskless Windows!

I'm now wondering if there any way to:
- automatically rename the machine name upon installation
- add that machine to a domain
- shorten the image size to a smaller value!
- if there is no way to actually automatically join the domain / change 
machine name, is there any way to run a postinstall script / application?

I've been using 25Gb image files for each node (because the Windows 
installation seems to almost take 20Gb).

What do you guys typically use? I would be very interested in knowing 
your experiences!

Thanks in advance,
