Hello,
There aren't enough details of what you are doing when you are copying
profiles to be sure, but that article would appear to apply to your
scenario.
XPSP2 changes the behavior so that after sysprep is run, the local
administrator is used to over write the default user profile.
So the default user profile is going to be over written the local
administrator profile.
This is not a sysprep change, this is a XPSP2 change for syssetup, so the
version sysprep doesn't matter.
The article points to the hotfix to change the behavior so as a new
unattended settings allow you to revery back to priovious behavior.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
