Correct, all sysprep does is repackage the machine for deployment. IIRC, RIS also uploads images to that location, in addition to downloading them to a workstation. But it's been about two years since I've played with it to any extent, so I could be wrong. I *do* know that it is done purely from tools supplied with Windows Server.

I thought sysprep was just to remove the "uniqueness" of a box before an imaging process. Looking in my win2k book they're saying that you'll have a windows installation image folder.
