Ahh, Windows search fun.  Vista kicks off a full index of the disk after
install.  You can stop that by stopping the Windows Search service.  I
suggest leaving it off all together personally, greatly improves
performance.

Also,  once you install Vista do not immediately install the client and
create a vdisk.  Give Vista about an hour or so to calm down.  XP does
not have this issue.

Duh... lol  I know that.  I read the docs for 4.5 and the beta 5.0 cover
to cover.

Has anyone out there been using Provisioning server or played around
with it?  
If so and you have set up a  Vista image have you come up with any best
practices or must do's to Vista OS,  prior to creating the Vdisk master
image?  I guess it would be similar to what you might want to do prior
to creating a VHD/VMDK of Vista. (except I haven't seen much on that
either)

Anyone seen any blog posts out there with tips on doing so? If not I may
just have to start and make my own list and post. 

Thanks,
