WPA and SYSPREP

[DoT]

All,

I have created an XP pro image for deployment, i used the -activated
and -reseal parameteres however when i loaded 1 of the images on
another computer it it asking for the activation of XP during the
mini-setup, can you tell me if i'm missing something or if i did
something wrong, doesnt the -activated option tell sysprep not to
reset the grace period for activation.

Thank you for your help.
