I'd like to create an image of Windows XP pro for several PC's. The PC's
currently have alicensed OEM version of Win XP pro preloaded. When I have
created an image in the past using sysprep, For some reason, I have to
activate Win XP pro from the image of an oem system. Since the systems have
OEM License keys that normally do not require activation, I'd like to know
where I can disable activation in the sysprep.inf for the OEM licenses. This
will save at least an hour off total configuring these new PC's.
