If I run Sysprep on Hp Elite 8200 OEM does the product key reset
Hello
Need help deploying 70 HP Elite 8200 convertable mini towers with Windows 7 Pro. I took one of the desktops with the OEM image and added other applications to the image. I ran Sysprep/generalize/oobe and then captured the image using symantec recovery 2011. I then loaded the image to another unit. The unit starts with the out of box experience. It asks for a new user and computer name. It does not ask for a product key and states windows is activated. Does any one know if the HP desktops already have the OEM image set to re-use the original product key after you run sysprep? Or is there an activation grace period after using sysprep? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
