Server Imaging jobs

Windows Sysprep imaging notes:
The reference and target servers must have the same BIOS EMS setting.
Do not enable the Automatically perform reconfiguration task after completing this imaging
task option in the Distribute Disk Image task.
Some applications do not image properly.
The "prep" script removes or uninstalls HP hardware-specific software. This removal allows the captured
image to be deployed to any HP server. The Support Pack installation task, after the image deployment,
installs any necessary HP software.
Just like the scripted installation, you can customize the sysprep answer file.
By default, the Sysprep jobs use the corresponding Enterprise product key. If you need to capture a
different edition, you must change the job to use the appropriate product key.
