Hello,

Can sysprep 1.1 be used for imaging Windows XP Pro machines?

Thanks,
Greg

No, you need Sysprep 2.0

Thanks! Also, I found the 2.0 from the deploy.cab file.

When I run sysprep manager and I answer some questions, I get prompted for
the Product key for XP. If I'm creating 1 image for 10 laptops, all 10
laptops will have the same product key correct\?

Only if you have a Volume License version of Windows XP.
If you have a Retail or OEM version, each Product Key
must be individually inserted.

We have retail version for this laptops. So I can still create 1 image and
add all 10 product keys in the ProductID section of the INF file correct?
