I have been asked to imaged 100 XP machines in my company,
however, with per seat licensing I have to manually enter
Volume LIcense Key for each machine, which makes my
sysprep useless. How do I go by automating the sysprep
without having to type in this License Keys. Scripts?
Batch files? Please help.

I assume you mean retail license keys. Volume licenses use the same key
on all machines to avoid the sort of problem you describe. Switch to
volume licenses. 100 is certainly enough money to make volume licenses
worthwhile.

If you are concerned about OEM Windows license keys, check the actual
keys in use on a machine that has not been reinstalled. You may be
surprised to find out that they are all the same key and not the
per-machine key that is on the COA. You should be able to image this OEM
key because that is what the OEMs do. Your license is still good as long
as you have the unique COA key as proof of purchase.
