If you do not run sysprep, all or your machines will have the same SID. And
all of your local admin accounts will look the "same" to each other... i.e.,
you may change the password on a local account on one machine but not the
other... but the old password would work sometimes because the SID of 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 XP
pro, which has a VLK and does not require activation. They can do it for
little or no more money...

Subject: [windows2000] sysprep
I just got a bunch of new dell workstations. I want to create an image
and then put the image on all the workstations. I was just wondering if
I have to sysprep the workstation that I create the image from? What
are the downsides to not running sysprep first?
The reason I ask is that Dell installs Windox xp pro on the workstations
but I am required to activate the machine with MS. I am trying to avoid
the hassles of doing that.
Thanks for you help in advance
Jonathan
