Hi Dale,
I found your post while searching for the same thing. This is what I
have done, and it appears to work fine on sysprepped images:

I went ahead and created the tasks on the machine I created the image
on (in my case, I'm automating weekly and monthly defrags). Now, see
this link regarding the usage of the XP builtin utility called
'schtasks.exe' (http://ss64.com/nt/schtasks.html). I created a batch
file that changes the "Run as" account to "NT Authority\System" for each
of the tasks, and created a RunOnce key to kick off the batch file on
first logon after Sysprep. Worked like a charm.

Hope that helps.

Johnny
