I have a laptop that I have built for a customer. WinXPSP3, all updates are current, etc. I am trying to create a sysprepped version for deployment. I have an answer file set up. Everything is in order as I've done this numerous times. WEhen I run sysprep.exe, I check the mini setup box, do not reset activation (we are using the key in the answer file) and reseal. Evrything seems to go right. When the image is booted, it starts the mini setup and asks for the computer name. After entering the name, it goes through its little checklist and when it gets to "saving settings" and just before going to the window to join the domain, it reboots and starts over.

Any ideas??? I have confirmed that I am using the right version of sysprep and I can't find anything in the answer file that would cause a problem.
