Hello Jeff,
Hmm while technically this may be possible, I am not sure this is supported.
The licensing issues would require that you have a copy of compliant media
for each sysprepped install that was done.
You would have to have a separate product key(upgrade media product key)
for each install that was done.
You should not be sysprepping installs that were upgraded over a previous
product that I believe would not be supported.
828287 Unsupported Sysprep scenarios
http://kb/article.asp?id=Q828287
So if you did a clean install with upgrade media, while providing compliant
when asked, technically this should work, however I doubt that this is a
tested scenario, and if the scenario is not tested it normally would be
supported.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
