Jonathan, I believe you must sysprep to wipe out the GUID so there are not
network conflicts when the image is installed on the new workstations. Seems
like more work to me then just activating the already installed windows XP
pro OS's? I would just do that! Unless there's some underlying facts I am
not aware of.
