Example Answer Files for Windows 7 Sysprep - Anyone?

We are trying to sysprep some laptops at work for Windows 7 and want to use an answer file so we do not have to constantly type in the Windows key. I have searched all over Technet and Google but I can't find an example to build on. Anyone have some suggestions or an example I can build off of ?

We aren't using WDS, so none of our images are WIM files.

WSIM should be able to generate an answer file for you still though.

That is what I thought as well. I tried but it wouldn't let me add/modify anything. When I first loaded the program it told me that my options would be very limited since I wasn't using a source WIM file.

Download the windows 7 trial and use that, it would probably work fine.
