Mapping Sysprep Settings
When you run Sysprep, it modifies hundreds if not thousands of registry settings to prepare the computer’s hard disk for duplication. Table 15-6 describes the settings that relate directly to Sysprep. These settings prepare the Mini-Setup wizard to run the next time Windows XP Professional starts. I tracked them down by comparing snapshots of the registry before and after running Sysprep. I divided this table into sections, with each key in a different section. The first column is the value, and the second column is the value’s type. The third column describes how Sysprep configures each value and the value’s purpose.
