[quote][i]Originally posted by Sam[/i] Anybody here familiar with the SYSPREP tool on Windows? What I normally do when I install Windows is I press control + shift + F3 at the registered name/company name screen on the Windows installation, install drivers/apps etc. specific to that computer and then run sysprep /oobe /shutdown when I'm done so the next time the system is turned on it shows the end user the screens where they have to enter the Windows license key and their name etc. to finish setup. I have here an old laptop with XP on it and an OEM license key. I only have retail Windows CDs so I normally overcome this problem by using the XP Product Key changer program from Microsoft after XP is installed, which asks for the license key, converts the install from retail to OEM and then activates it online. In the case of this particular laptop, I want the end user to accept the license agreement and enter the license key as per what would normally happen if I do it the usual SYSPREP way, rather than pre-activating it for them and them not having to accept the license agreement. Is there any way around this at all? Should I just try to obtain a generic OEM CD? [/quote]
