View/quickprep breaking Windows XP SP3 domain membership?

So I have a problem with View or quickprep in my VDI installation.

I am currently using the latest build of View (3.0.1) and my desktop is a vanilla Windows XP SP3 image.

If I deploy a pool and use quickprep to add the desktops to the domain, I find that after the desktops have been deployed and created, that they are not in fact on the domain. i.e. at the Windows logon screen, I get no option to choose a domain to logon to, in fact, the desktop has not been added to the domain and is just a part of a workgroup.

BUT, if I check Active Directory, I can see the computer accounts created by View! What gives!?

It seems to be only the quickprep (or something to do with the pool provisioning) that breaks the image/domain membership. If I manually deploy a Windows XP SP3 VM using either a customization specification or the customisation wizard then it works fine.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? For the record, the same deployment works for Windows XP SP2 machines so it seems isolated to just SP3.
