Capture existing Machine

I have some questions related to SCCM 2007 SP2 OSD

In our environment i keep building Terminal Servers based on Windows  2008 R2 or 2012 R2

These has OS / Windows patches/ All needed applications installed

In addition i have roles and features that are needed for Terminal servers.

My question is since i have build a new server very recently (have all apps installed , all roles and features installed etc) ready to be used .

It is part of our domain , has sccm client installed, has Mcafee installed, has SCOM agent installed.

Is there anyway i could make this my reference image for all future deployments, like capture this by SCCM and then whenever i need a new Terminal server i deploy using this captured image.

I read i have to unjoin form domain , remove SCCM client.

Q:Does anyone has tips , since most of the articles only say to Use build and capture rather then an existing machines

Q: It has 2 Drives C: E:  and D: is the CD drive , how do i capture both and when i deploy using this will it deploy both drives.

Q:We are using VMWare vsphere based VM's (any thing i should take care in that , like drivers etc)
