Sysprep -clean

I've been struggling for days of research figuring out how to clean up my
critical device database in the registry after bringing down a sysprep image.
There are hidden devices in my registry and services running as well that
shouldn't be, as a result of including the massstoragesection in my
sysprep.inf. I do not want to change my image or sysprep.inf because i have
it working successfully on all platforms. so my question.

why is the sysprep -clean section not properly cleaning out the critical
device database in the registry as it is designed to do? my method of
creating the image:

1. prepare image
2. run sysprep -bmsd to populate sysprepmassstoragesection
4. run sysprep -clean
5. run sysprep -reseal
6. image machine
7. bring down image to new machine
8. upon reboot minisetup runs sysprep -clean again via the cmdlines.txt

still have a fully populated critical device database.

what am i doing wrong?

thank you,

Scott

The sysprep -clean should be peformed during sysprep cmdlines.txt, not
when sealing the image.
