Windows updates missing history reset after sysprep /generalize

[mobious99]

Hi Everyone,

 

so I have everything working with all of my images and everything is going well but lately I've noticed that the images (physical or virtual) all seem to reset their windows updates to be missing updates after the cloning process.

 

for example:

- 3 virtual machines cloned from the same template (in this case 2008 r2)

 

The first machine - 38 missing updates

The second machine - 62 missing updates

The third machine - 40+ missing updates

 

has anyone seen this behavior before?

 

Fyi,

every month I update my images on patch Tuesday to avoid the stuff from above if possible.

 

I get the same results btw from above with my physical server images.
