Through much trial-and-error, I came up with the following two-part system.
A script, SysprepLaunch_x64.cmd, that contains only the following...
net stop wmpnetworksvc
sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend_x64.xml
I stumbled across a few posts where they found that the Windows Media Player sharing service can ruin Sysprep, so I start by stopping the service. Then I launch Sysprep, calling the answer-file.
The answer-file was the hard part.
The answer-file below is for x64 only. To tailor it for x86, simply replace processorArchitecture="amd64" with processorArchitecture="x86".
The unattend_x64.xml answer-file
