[K12OSN] Installing using disk image WinXP pro

[Walker, Clay]

Sysprep is your best bet but if I recall, you have to have a volume licensed CD to install XP because of the registration issues.  And with MS's new "checks" for pirated software, you may have issues updating the imaged machines.   
 
Good luck.
Clay

Try sysprep

Disclaimer...   I got out of Windows administration in 2000 and all my
ghosting experience was with win '98.

The guys here at school have talked about sysprep and the laptop images, but
I have no persoanl expperience with it.
