We recommend you install the agent as a postinstall task, that way you are deploying the latest agent with your k1000 server (if you update the task).
The cloneprep=1 is recommended as well, this means that it won't actually create the kuid, and gather inventory until the next reboot of the workstation.

Take a look at this. You can also install with CLONEPREP=1 before sysprepping your image.

I do mine as a post install task.

On the ones you already deployed delete the two keys and restart this should get them to reregiter with the kbox. On the acad side I have the client already installed in my master. When I sysprep the image prior to capture I delete the two registry keys listed in the link he provided - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
