Vista keeps auto login in after sysprep is run
I am using sysprep for vista and I created a answer file using the step by step guide at http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/12265a2d-e0e6-4ca6-aa02-df4f68a5a8a81033.mspx?mfr=true. After I run the command sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:sysprep.xml the system shuts down. I then boot it up again and the OOBE runs and then reboots. This time when it comes up it is in audit mode and every time I reboot it after that. I have narrowed it down to the answer file section for Microsoft-Windows-Deployme nt and the Reseal mode of Audit. If I change this to OOBE then I get the Welcome Wizard upon boot up. What I want is for the system to come up in normal mode and let the user login for the first time. I am sure my answer file has missing or wrong component that is causing Windows to login in audit mode. I have included my answer file, can someone point out my error?

Since I have already set all the entries OOBE in the answer file I believe that it is ok to skip the OOBE process.
