I just hit an interesting snag when deploying XP using source files and a capture and create task sequence. In the process of customizing the task sequence, I forgot to change the User Name and Organization name for the Apply Windows Settings task. Not a big deal except that the username defaults to the currently logged on user; in this case, I was logged on as Administrator. When XP setup reached the username and organization input screen, it stopped and threw up an error saying that you cannot use Administrator for the username. As many times as I’ve installed XP, I guess I never tried to use Administrator as the username. It let me manually change it and hit OK, so, no harm, no foul I guess.
Strictly speaking this should actually be defined as an XP unattended setup quirk, but I hit it during OSD.
