I didn't realize Dell would do that.  That is great.  Thanks for the =3D
info.

If you do not run sysprep, all or your machines will have the same SID.
=3D And all of your local admin accounts will look the "same" to each
other... =3D i.e., you may change the password on a local account on one
machine but not =3D the other... but the old password would work =
sometimes
because the SID of =3D the account is the same.

A crappy explanation, but I can't think of a better one.

In the future, talk to Dell about loading on your corporate version of =
=3D
XP pro, which has a VLK and does not require activation.  They can do it
=3D for little or no more money...

I just got a bunch of new dell workstations.  I want to create an image
=3D and then put the image on all the workstations.  I was just =
wondering
if I =3D have to sysprep the workstation that I create the image from?
What are the downsides to not running sysprep first? =3D3D20 The reason =
I
ask is that =3D Dell installs Windox xp pro on the workstations but I am
required to activate =3D the machine with MS.  I am trying to avoid the
hassles of doing that. =3D3D20 =3D Thanks for you help in advance =
=3D3D20
