A couple of things which can cause this to occur:

1. admin password of system not blank
2. not using the same version of sysprep that was originally used

Thanks for the reply, but I did check both of those. I blanked the admin password before sysprepping the second time, would it matter that sysprep set the password the first time? As for the second option, I used the exact same cd I had created for the first.

Like I said, using regular sysprep instead of OSP worked, but I don't know why that would happen.

I'm having a problem where if I use OfflineSysPrep twice on the same image it fails on the mini-setup on the second time around with "SamChangePasswordUser returned status c000006a" error.

Let me explain a little, I built an image, OSP'd it, and used it for a few months. I then imaged it to a new machine, updated some of the software, and re-ran OSP the same way I originally had done it, but this time when the image is deployed, mini-setup fails at boot with the above error and sends it into an endless reboot cycle.

I play around with some images in VMware and I cannot find a workaround...although, if SysPrep is run "online", or within Windows the second time, the error does not show up.

I did research the error a bit, and it's related to instructing SysPrep to change the Administrator password during mini-setup, but I tried with and without a password in sysprep.inf, as well as a blank and nonblank password before sysprepping, but the error always shows up.

Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
