Ghosting XP pro for business network

Altho I want to go with win2k, the powers that be may want to go with XP pro.

I plan on making an image of course and using Ghost enterprise, pushing it out over the wire.
Is MS' new licensing scheme going to screw me up?
Am I going to have to enter in the OEM license key for each machine I set it up on?

We will be buying all new rigs with XP pro pre installed already, so will have valid licensing. I am just concerned with having to change the damn reg for each of the 30 computers after I wipe them out and ghost it over. Anyone do it yet?
 
You'll need to use the Sysprep utility to regenerate the SID for each machine. The MS Knowledge Base has lots of info on Sysprep stuff.

Be quite certain that you really will be able to activate all the machines before you start. While you may indeed have the licenses because the machines were pre-installed, you'll still need one of the volume licensing CD's to install on multiple machines. A regular OEM copy won't do it.
