Unknown Account Type?

xp pro sp1. deployed from a ghost image that was sysprepped. Mini setup runs
fine with the execption of an error when it tries to set the administrator
password.. although the password IS set anyway.

The user account used on the reference machine (the one that the image was
created from, and all apps were installed as) is showing on the newly imaged
target machines in the control panel -> users as 'Unknown Account Type'? It
seems to work ok so far though. How did this happen? can I fix it? should I
be worried about it?

this user was a member of the administrators group while installing apps but
was removed from the administrators group prior to sysprepping and creating
the image. It was added to the Power Users group. Its been a while since I
created this image and the details are foggy.

any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Windows XP only has two official account types,
Administrator and Limited. However using Admin Tools you
can make use of more refined user types. In your case you
used the option "Power User". This is an account type
that is not one of the two standard account types. This
is why you don't see the actual account type. But this is
nothing to worry about.

Hope this helps
