Need to create an install image of XP for 50 or so PC's. I have individual XP Pro licencing for each pc. If I get one PC to the point I want it and run sysprep and create an image is it possible to use a seperate license key for each PC? Do I have to have a volume license key so when I do the install on another PC I do not have trouble activating XP Pro.

I guess the straight answer to everything you need to know about XP Sysprep should be coming from no one else other than Microsoft. Take a look at this link http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/itpro/deploying/introduction.asp

Give me a break!!! Not asking for any information here that is shady.. I have the licensing and am not doing anything wrong. Someone has done this before and can answer the question. And yes I know that Microsoft has all the answers but people develope ways to do things that are easier than Microsoft ways.
