so i prep a build with all the software i want, patch it and capture it.
i don't supply a mak key in the image, instead make it part of the final build process yes? are you saying this clean wim needs patching from scratch every month?

Reusing your images and re-syspreping just leads to problems. Always start clean. MDT makes the process easy, it's best to take advantage of it.

I'm doing something wrong with my workgroup images, after a couple of months they won't sysprep once patched. If I try to build from the image it tells me the max number of activations are reached. On stuff that's built I can slmgr /upk and recover by adding the MAK key again. My workflow for this is obviously wrong [:(] . How is best to supply the MAK in this situation where I'm rebuilding and patching the same image every month?
