| I'm currently building a set of demo machine and I would like one of my
partners to use them, however I don't want them to use my MSDN key, is
there any way I can remove this and prompt them to enter a key on boot ?
The machines I have are 2003 server , Exchange 2003 and xp sp2
Thanks
Kev

| I took a look at sysprep but I get "There is an incompatibility between
this tool and the Current Operating System". Unable to continue" , I
have windows 2003 enterprise sp1 and Exchange 2003 installed. I also
have the latest sysprep from the MSDN site
Any ideas ?

| Sorry for the wrong information but after doing a quick search for SysPrep
and Exchange on Google; I found that Exchange doesn't support SysPrep.
It's a shame that MS doesn't offer an easy solution to change the serial
keys of their software.
