hi,

 

let me try answer:

 

1.

 

usually can use wds naming policy auto-name clients. if prefer using command, please refer following articles:

 

add custom command answer file

to auto domain join, please refer following article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730845(ws.10).aspx

 

you not need remove computer name first. sync. however, if use wds naming policy, should remove computer name first.

 

2.

 

if clients auto select install image install, please specify following settings in unattend file:

 

<imageselection>

      <willshowui>onerror</willshowui>

      <installimage>

         <imagename>my_image_name</imagename>

         <imagegroup>my image group</imagegroup>

      </installimage>

      <installto>

         <diskid>0</diskid>

         <partitionid>1</partitionid>

      </installto>

   </imageselection>

 

if prefer manually select install image, please not specify above settings.

 

hope helps.
