After installing Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise edition and applying my organizations stringent security-related settings I am attempting to use sysprep to take an image and getting the below error(s) (copy-paste from setuperr.log).
As far as I can tell the first error regarding the administrator password is distinct from the following which i believe is simply the error with spopk.dll "bubbling up." (Based on my reading of setupact.log)
2011-11-17 11:38:14, Error [shsetup] CleanupAdministratorPassword: NetUserSetInfo(1003) failed (0x800708c5) [gle=0x000003e5]

2011-11-17 11:38:16, Error [0x0f00a8] SYSPRP WinMain:Hit failure while processing sysprep generalize internal providers; hr = 0x8007001f
Any ideas? The machine is NOT in a domain and the hardware is a Dell 2950.
EDIT: I should have mentioned I am running sysprep from the gui, selecting Generalize and OOBE. (No unattend).
