sysprep kills power scheme!!!

[lee.james]

This is driving me crazy.

No matter what I do, I cannot get a customized power scheme to 'stick'
after sysprepping a system. It always defaults back to the Home/Office
setting.

I've also tried using powercfg.exe (which works fine manually) to load
and set the scheme by putting it in a cmdlines.txt file in the
c:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$ directory along with the required files. Nothing
works!

And of course there's no entries in Group Policy for this either.

I could use GP to run a batch file everytime a person logs on, but give
me a break!

I can't believe there's no way to do this.

Running XP SP2, Sysprep v2.0

I'n only interested in hearing from anyone that's actually got this to
work.

Thx,

J.
