Horizon, Quickprep, Linked Clones, KMS and the CMID Help

[acvonnied]

I am currently trying to get KMS working with our Horizon linked clones

We are running into the duplicate CMID issue when generating our linked clones..

I come across this post Windows 7 QuickPrep CMID  which suggested that Quikprep should rearm but I'm not seeing this.. (didn't want to necro that old thread)

is there anything special that needs to happen on the gold master for the rearm process to create a new CMID?

Do we need to rearm our gold master?

We would like to avoid the sysprep route as quikprep has worked so solidly for us up to this point

Personally, I have always had problems with KMS and QuickPrep. I assisted with an issue on an environment using QuickPrep where they went to KMS for Office. The easiest, and fastest solution, was to switch to SysPrep and have the SID changed. There are probably ways to get around it, but you may cause yourself less headaches going to SysPrep in the long run.
