Should I copy deploy.cab in my guest os? How does Syspre/Quickpre happen? Does it take care of configuring IP and adding the linked clone to domain?
What are the step to complete before configuring desktop pools.
All of your question are taken care of by vCenter. You may want to read that document : http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-51-virtual-machine-admin-guide.pdf
If you don't have any vCenter then any manual procedure to ghost/clone a machine can be followed. And you'll have to manually setting up the IP and adding it to the domain (or script it).
