Hi
I am having a major issue with a sysprep rollout.
I manage to do the sysprep using the generalize and oobe ... it works perfectly on the client machine but when checking the MAK status on licensing within the microsoft VL portal each machine is showing as a new activation !!!
I was under the impression that if we purchased new machines with OEM licenses then as long as we had at least 1 volume licesne this would allow us to sysprep and roll out the image on the desktops - this was confirmed by microsoft sometime ago .. so we purchased the required VL key which is used in the build.
So I cant understand why after each new one the machine is going out to internet and trying to relicense (using the original VL key)
The problem is that in a few days when I roll out next batch the VL centre will say no more activations.
Please can anyone help ???
