Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (Far more info?) Ok,
Tried using sysprep before imaging on a new XPsp2 Professional box,office 2007 Enterprise (http://www.office2007-key.in/), but received an error that there was a conflict,office 2007 Pro serial (http://www.office2007-key.ca/), and I couldn't run it. I found newer version of sysprep for XPsp1,windows 7 starter serial (http://www.windows-7-key.us/), (version 5.1.2600.1106) and ran that. However, I inadvertently enabled Windows Activation. We have volume licensing, so this is not supposed to be an issue. I need to find a way to fix this so I can create a new image. Here's what I did/happened when I ran sysprep...
First - normal warning box came up with the Sysprep Tool 2.0 header (I just did this through Run, not the command line)
Next I got a gray dialogue box with the following options on it (have to pick one of them to proceed and actually run the utility).
1) To skip Windows Welcome or Mini setup & configure the installation as scripted in winbom.ini,office 2010 Professional activation key (http://www.office2010-key.ca/), click Factory
2) To reboot this computer & manually test the install, click audit (available only in factory mode)
3) To prepare for end user, click reseal
I clicked on the reseal option,microsoft office 2010 Standard 64 bit (http://www.office2010-key.ca/), and that obviously wasn't a good choice, as now the 30 days windows activation balloon pops up on the first PC I put the image onto.
Any thoughts on how to undo this? TIA, lostagain
