sysprep; Vista; VPC2007

Hello MS Gurus. I am having a heck of a time decrypting the new sysprep
process for vista and could really use some help. My envirionment consists
of Vista as a guest on VPC 2007. I am TRYING to use Windows SIM to create my
sysprep.xml file but keep running into issues. My latest issue is that i
keep getting prompted for Country or region, Time and Currency and Keyboard
Layout. I am using the sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe/ reboot
/unattend:sysprep.xml command with the following file settings:

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? Also anyone know of a way to encrypt the
password of the account being used to add the machine to the domain?

thanks
