It might be worth putting together  atable of some sort. List each failing 
service and obtain its' dependencies from the services admin tools applet. once 
you know all the dependencies, a bit of old-fashioned mental analysis might 
lead you somewhere.

There's so many failing I don't even know where to start. The Remote
Procedure-services seem to fail as well, and IIRC many other services depend
on these. Might be them, but I haven't a clue to why.

Another thing I noticed now, was that when I run Sysinternals Bginfo it can't
find the Logon-domain and logon-server; says it's unknown. Although I can
logon with my admin-accounts etc.

Something tells me the sysprep might not have been entirely successful...
