You can use the Windows Product Activation (WPA) automation method in Windows XP to support fully-automated deployments. You can use an answer file and the built-in WMI activation feature to automate the WPA during setup. If you are however using volume license media with volume license keys this guidance is not necessary. For more information on using WPA and WMI to automate WPA during setup, please see Deploying Windows XP Using Windows Product Activation at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/
