I am creating some WIN XP images for my corp environment, I have some scheduled tasks that need to run on all the images, but when I put the image back onto a hard drive the service account I use to start the tasks changes to the Administrators account, is there a way to keep this from happening.

I'm assuming a couple of things here so please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. The clients are on an NT/2k domain.
2. The service is running using a domain account.
3. The images have had sysprep applied to them.

The reason it's happening is that when the machine is removed from the domain to have the image snapped the domain account for your task is no longer a valid account on that machine.

Here is what I would do. As a sysadmin it's fairly easy to create a script to insert the required task.
