Can you bypass sysprep?

Once you have sysrep'd a machine, and ghosted it. Once you boot it up, is there any way to bypass the sysprep function?

Currently setting up a lab at a remote location and all the machines won't boot because of something in the 'specialize' area in the unattend.xml file. then it will just keep rebooting time and time again.

Any help?? please?

error in parsing this file... settings pass specialize OR oobeSystem failed

Something is messed up, and you will have to re-install.
it shouldn't go into reboot loops , unable to boot.

Did you get an error at one point saying ..error in parsing this
file... settings pass specialize OR oobeSystem failed?

enter windows.old\panther\unattendGC. In there you
will have logs which will show you even which entries in your file have
caused the ooobe to crash and burn and die.


Fix these and re-install.
