The DHCPClassID option is not transmitted correctly over the network connection if you use the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) DHCPClassID option to deploy a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer (897098)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
- Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
SYMPTOMSIf you use the DHCPClassID option in the Sysprep.inf file, the DHCPClassID option is not transmitted correctly over the network connection. You use the DHCPClassID option when you use
the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) to deploy a Microsoft Windows XP-based
computer. The DHCPClassID option is not transmitted correctly over the network connection before
the mini-setup wizard runs. Additionally, the mini-Setup wizard cannot join the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client computer to a domain.WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, wait until mini-Setup has completed and
the DHCP client has been
restarted. The DHCPClassID option is available after mini-Setup has completed and
the DHCP client has been
restarted. If you restart the DHCP client during the mini-Setup, the DHCPClassID option settings are correctly picked up from the registry. When the DHCPClassID option settings are correctly picked up from the registry, the DHCPClassID option is transmitted correctly over the network connection. Alternatively, you can add a GUIrunOnce section in the Sysprep.inf file to join the DHCP client computer
to the domain.STATUSMicrosoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
in the "Applies to" section.
