I know that you can capture a Windows Image file using the SMS2003 OSD
Feature Pack...then it should be able to be managed to an extent...however,
it won't have the functionality that it has with Vista Images.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the second part.

If you aren't using SMS2k3 or SCCM though, you'll have to use good old
Ghost. However, I know that you can have issues with the newer SATA systems
when applying a DOS image. If you need help in that event, let me know.

Hello,
What functionality are you looking for from Windows System Image Manager.
The primary purpose is to generate the unattended file.
It generates the unattended file in an XML format and only for Window Vista
and Windows Server 2008.
Windows XP needs the unattended file to be generated in text format. Look
at the deploy.cab on the Windows XP for Setup Manager to generate the
unattended files.
Thanks,
