Same product Id after Sysprep cloning in KMS environment
Hi guys,
I have to setup 30 identical systems, with Windows 7 Enterprise edition for my lab. I decided to setup a machine, install all the required software in windows audit mode and clone it using Sysprep with an answer file. For the activation part my university uses KMS. The cloning was successfully completed using sysprep and imagex. The image was applied to another machine, booted it up and activated it with the KMS.
The problem i'm facing is that both the machines have same product id, but Client Machine IDs(CMID) issued by the KMS are unique. Is there a workaround to eliminate Product Id duplication??
I used sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:answerfile.xml in the audit mode to generalize the installation.
