machin05 - I loaded Windows XP SP2 VL onto a laptop and then I fully patched it and put SP3 along with all of our applications. I then captured an image with Microsoft imagex.exe. I think sysprepped it with the SP3 version and could not get in with the normal key. So I will be rolling back to the captured image and using SP2 sysprep on the SP3 image as you did successfully. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks for all of the details.
