RDP: image job on windows 2008 R2 gives endless reboot

[Ole Thomsen_1]

Altiris 6.9.3
Started an image job on a 2008 R2 server. It just reboots forever running sysprep setup and trying to login as Altiris6RandomUser but failing with "the username or password is incorrect".

Sysprep has changed administrator password to something unknown to me.

There is a zero byte image file created by this job.

How do I finish this job, or at least get access to the server again?

Solved by correcting the capture job as described by Chris here http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1357512

For anyone like me that was skeptical about the proposed workaround, don't be, it honestly works.
