SYMPTOMS
When you use the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) and the Sysprep.inf file to update drivers on a Microsoft Windows XP image, and then you use the File Signature Verification tool (Sigverif.exe) to verify that the system files on the computer are digitally signed, Sigverif.exe may report that some drivers are not digitally signed. This problem may sometimes cause driver-related problems during startup.

This problem does not occur if you add the drivers by including the path of the drivers in the OEMPnPDriversPath section of the Unattend.txt file. This problem also does not occur if the drivers are manually updated.
