WinXP Sysprep

Hi:
How do I reset windows 30 days grace period before I sysprep the machine?
I usually get the message that the grace period will not be reset.
Thank you
Mario

The grace period is normally reset when running sysprep -reseal
(unless using VLK media of course). After three resets, the activation
timer is no longer reset.

My recommendation is to always use scripted installations when
creating a new or updated master image.

If you don't want to reset the grace period for Windows Product
Activation you can add the -activated switch.

either check the EULA agreement or you probably can do it
in the command prompt.
