Computer Setup Best Practices for initial image capture

I need a solution

I am building the first image right now for image capture in DS 7.5.  What are the best practices to set this computer up.  So far, I'm having some trouble locating documentation on this.  So I am going over what I have pieced together.

1. I am creating Bootwiz images right now

2. Build computer (including software that I want in image) and update.

3. Name computer and join to domain (I’m assuming name doesn’t matter because SYSPREP will get rid of it)

4. Import AD into SMC, so that computer shows up

5. Install Agent and necessary plugins (automation folder, deployment plug-in). Would you recommend letting the SMC install the other plugins after the image is pulled down to a machine?

6. I will then SYSPREP the machine.  We use a Service Account with Symantec, I’m assuming I should leave that alone? What about the local account we add to machines as a back Admin Account?

7. It looks like I'm going to run SYSPREP twice, once from the machine and then once from DS, does this effect anything or am I reading it wrong?

8. Does the SYSPREP strip the machine from the domain?

9. I have my site server set up as the image server, but I can’t find where to default the DeployAnywhere driver store to save the drivers to the site server. Is that default?
