I am having an issue with Windows 10 Enterprise and cloning the VM from a template. First I create a golden image, apply updates, install applications, power it off, and then clone the VM to a template. Using VMware vSphere 6.5 U3, after a few attempts cloning a VM from the template, the clones work perfectly i.e. the Windows host name is renamed to the VM name, and the VM is joined to AD. Then all of the sudden after a few clones, this no longer works. I am using vSphere customization file which has all the settings and as described it works fine until a few attempts.
I have ran the slmgr /dlv on the VM's that are successful vs the non successful. I can only suspect this is why I am experiencing failures? The results are as follows. We are using KMS so the results output sow
Successful Clone:
Remaining Windows rearm count: 1000
Remaining SKU rearm count: 1000
Unsuccessful Cone:
Remaining Windows rearm count: 1001
Remaining SKU rearm count: 1001
Can anyone tell me that the difference between 1000 and 1001 indicate? Could this be the culprit of my issues?
