Quick Question.

I have a large number of PC's that I need to wipe and install a clean XP installation, all the PC's are the same hardware. What I have done is below.

Install XP, Drivers, and XP SP2 and the PC works fine.

Copy and extract deploy.cab from the XP CD.

Run sysprep using the reseal option.

I used ghost to replicate onto another PC to test and the setup works fine, asks for computername user accounts, passwords etc. But knowhere does it prompt me to enter the XP license key. I need it to ask for the key, and not use the same one on each pc due to product activation.

What command line options etc do I need to get the above to prompt for the XP Licence key?.

I Hate Sysprep, reminds me of setting up an OEM Machine. You can change the product key, and therefore keep your licencing happy through the registry.
