First of all, I understand Microsoft only support preparing system running
WinOS using sysprep but, 2008 version of sysprep do not support OS that
doesn't use standard c: drive as system drive letter. We created a default
system with necessary applications installed but one requirement on this
image is not using c: as system drive. When running sysprep with an
unattend.xml that specified a drive letter, e.g. n:, sysprep process won't
complete. Sysinternal has not release a new version of newsid for windows
2008. Has anyone any suggestion on any other utilties that generate new sid
for a system and works with windows 2008?

Thanks.

Hello Dylan,

Did you follow this one to create the image:

If you scroll down to "Known issues when creating custom install images",
maybe it helps.
