just for clarifying if you executed the command properly -- "\\?\" is required after dir cmd.. and not one with the 
single slash "\?\". to reproduce the issue in winxp sp2,

Sorry, one of the backslashes got lost somehow in copy and paste. With two backslashes it works as advertised and I get 
the DEP dialog.

C:\>cmd

C:\>%COMSPEC% /K "dir \\?\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[DEP dialog here]
