Creating windows 7 recovery images

[shahil]

Im wondering how to create an image of a windows 7 computer, so i can deploy it from my server if something goes wrong with that pc. I dont want to use sysprep b/c it removes all of the serial codes. im not sure if .vhd can be deployed through the network (.vhd comes when you use the create system img through Win7). Im not sure on how to create an image making the img file come out as a .wim file extension. what i want to do is create a .wim file and deploy from windows server 2008 r2.

are you trying to do this using Configuration Manager 2007 ? or Windows Deployment Services ? or Microsoft Deployment toolkit ?

i could use deployment services or deployment toolkit, most likely be using deployment services.
