Hi,
I am working on an golden VDI image containing office 2013.
I've setup an KMS server and the activations are successfully. These are the steps I take:
1. Install office 2013. When installations is complete I run ospprearm.exe as administrator.
2. I notice that when I check the office MachineID there is no ID : ospp.vbs /dcmid
3. Then I shut down the golden image so it can be deployed.
4. when I create multiple desktops I see them all getting their own MachineID registering at the KMS server.
So until this part everything works like a charm for me.
Now the trouble starts when I would like to adjust the golden image.
5. I startup the Golden image edit some shortcuts or even nothing.
6. Run ospprearm.exe (I already notice that the MachineID is indeed changing but there is one. Unlike before in step 2.)
7. shutdown the golden image and deploy the virtual desktops again.
8. Now all desktops have the same MachineID, they don't bother about their license but I am afraid that after 180 days all licenses will expire.
Can someone tell me how to work with this... only workaround I can think of is reinstalling office every time the golden image has came online....
