Hello djc,
That process is fraught with errors.
When you overwrite the default user profile with another profiles such as
the "sysprep" profile that you generated, the profile contains a number of
links and pointers back the "sysprep" profile locations. So if the new
users do not have permissions to that "sysprep" profile they will get
errors.
It is possible that the ACLs on some of the registry keys may be specific
also the "sysprep" profile.
Power settings for the most part do require administrator rights, not all
of them but most of them require you to be an administrator.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
