All,
I work for a company that has been using XP Corporate across our network
however recently we have had a few machines come back to us.

The users basically are being asked to activate the product which, as I
understand it, shouldnt be required with XP Corporate?

They stated that the system crashed and it was after the reboot that we have
had to activate the product. It is across various sites, the problem isn't
local to just one site and we dont know how to get around the problem outside
of rebuilding the machine.

We dont have recovery disks due to having to store 1000+ CD's or floppies so
we are really at a loss.

XP is running well on most PC's just had a few of these activation problems
appear over the last few days and we, as of yet, cant find a cause!

Regards,
Paul M
