Imaging or cloning RDSH servers

Anyone have any experience with this in 2012R2 session collections?

Specifically I'm referring to server farms with more than 2 session hosts servers.  What i've done previously was limited to two rdsh servers and i just built them side by side.  Now i'm on a project with 5, I'd like to build one as a template, with as much configured as possible so should i need to replace a server or add an additional, with all the same hardware specs, i can do it with relative ease.  

i want to get it to a point that i run sysprep and shut it down and capture my image.  that master machine can then be booted back up and used in the collection.  then i can deploy the image to the next server, boot it up, add it to the collection and so on.  sounds easy enough, but there's some issues:

In order for the apps to work correctly in rds, the rdsh role needs to be installed first.  It also needs to be a member server.  But then the collection isn't specific to the server, and i need to create the collection to configure rds, but then when i sysprep the server and shut it down, it will be removed from the domain, but not the collection.

So whats an appropriate procedure?

Thanks. 

I should add, that UPD are enabled as well.
