The first 2 deletes failed, saying key doesn't exist, but the 3rd one passed, and do a "resetauthorization" and "detectnow" did work, and all showed up properly. Not sure what is different in my Win2012 template as opposed to my Win2008 template (only the Win2012 VMs showed a problem, not the Win2008 VMs), but I can dig into that, and make it a point to run this script as part of the rollout process.
