I believe I used an OEM CD while preparing an RIS image
and installed XP SP1. The keys I have are retail. XP does
not allow me to activate with retail keys as it is taking
it as an OEM install.

Is there a way to change install type - registry flag or
something? Or do I have to reinstall all the machines
from ground zero?
 
Q. "Or do I have to reinstall all the machines from ground zero?"
