1. you need to have a windows vm and seal it for sysprep (not sure about the details of how to do it)
2. make a template from this vm, make sure that the correct os is selected (xp,win7..)
3. when creating vm from the template, fill the windows domain and timezone under the 'Inital run' tab
on the vm first run, sysprep should be run automatically.

you can run it again as Michal explains here below.

i think reboot is more of a windows requirement rather ovirt, but not sure.
