How many time do you need to run sysprep? If you sysprep a dirve and install
the drive on a computer to test, everything works fine and now want to image
that drive over to the original drive in the same computer. Whould you need
to sysprep again?

Thanks in advance.
 
It seems that the O/S has already been resealed 3 times.
When you sysprep with the -reseal the 30-day grace period
for activation starts. If, however, you leave it in factory mode,
then the counter doesn't start until you reseal the computer.
