We use SCM 2012 to deploy our syspreped (and generalized) WIM images to our lab machines.
I have 3 software products (Sony Acid Music Studio 8, Sony DVD Architect 5 and Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD) which are installed on the base image and registered/activated while the base system is in Audit mode.
NOTE: we use ImageX to capture the WIM image, we do not use SCM to capture it, only to deploy via a a Task Sequence OSD.
Once I deploy the image via an OSD all 3 products lose the registration information. I have to physically uninstall each program, then re-install and re-activate the software on each system. At 1200+ systems, there's no way in hell I want to do that
The thing is, it worked perfectly fine in Ghost, so there must be something that ImageX does to the image that makes the programs lose the info. I'm guessing it has something to do with volume IDs and the like, but I don't know.
I'm at my wits end here. I tried everything, including contacting Sony support, who just said to copy the reg files from a working system over to the stuffed one, but that didn't work either.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Does an SCM capture task do it differently than a straight ImageX command from within WinPE?
