I ran sysprep.exe on an XP Pro sp2 system partition that has syskey (startup
passphrase) enabled. The option selected for sysprep was "mini setup".
There seems to be a connection I do not understand between syskey and the
SIDs that prevents (at least part of) the registry from being modified when
the SIDs are changed. When I reboot (to test), syskey prompts for and
accepts the startup passphrase. Mini setup starts, and then pops up a
message saying it must shut down. This same problem occurs whether the admin
password is blank or not:
Here is the resulting setuperr.log file:
Warning:
Setup was unable to change the password for user account AdminSam because of
the following error:
SamChangePasswordUser returned status c000006a.
