    Any Product Key Update Tool for Windows 2003?

    Microsoft distributes a very useful utility for Windows XP named
    KeyUpdateTool.exe that can be used to change the product key associated with
    an installation of Windows XP. This is very useful when you clone an
    existing installation to a new computer and want to reset the key, or when
    you use up activations due to hardware changes and need to supply a new key
    to activate with. Is there any similar utility that will work on Windows
    2003 Server? I just tried KeyUpdateTool on my first W2K3 server, and the
    utility complains that it is hard coded to work on only Windows XP.

    As a follow up to this, if there is no Key Update Tool for Windows 2003,
    then how do I get the Microsoft SYSPREP tool to use in initializing new
    Windows 2003 deployments?

    sysprep.inf;

    [UserData]
    ComputerName = ServerName
    FullName = "Your Name"
    OrgName = "Your Organization"
    ProductKey = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"

    There's also a new sysprep version for R2/SP2 as I recall.
