Still having issues with WinXP Pro after using sysprep

[seaninsjca]

After installing Winxp Pro SP1 either manual or automated, we load all drivers, applications and verify all hardware.

When done we run sysprep, but it fails to clear out the default user created during the original setup.

If we go back in after we sysprep and fill out all info (username), we then have the default username and the new username. This continues no matter how many times we run sysprep.

Example:

During original install username is Tom. Logon screen shows Tom

After Sysprep, end user types in username Bob. Logon screen shows Tom and Bob.

Sysprep Again, end user types in username Ron. Logon screen shows Tom, Bob, and Ron.

Help!!!!

On a cleanly formatted disk between installations?

In this case, no, because during the initial install we use a default username (bob) for setup and load all the drivers and apps and finish testing. After we sysprep the system we noticed that after the OOBE is completed the setup name is never removed.
