I have vista Business 32bit using the WAIK to create the unattended.xml file. i have everything figured out except on initial boot it asks me to create a new local user. i dont want any local users except the local admin account, everything else is handled by the domain. I searched the MSFN before posting and didnt find anything.

It turns out my mistake was that I was trying to think for myself. The solution was to create the local admin account as part of sysprep. I thought this was redundant because the account already existed but I guess that’s just how it works. it appears that you must create a local account but you can make that account the local administrator, which you would have anyway
