Deleting EndpointID before creating a golden image

You can delete the EndpointID GUID manually from the golden image before running Sysprep. When you delete EndpointID here, the endpoint machine automatically creates a unique EndpointID value specific to the endpoint machine.

Steps

  1. Install Forcepoint F1E on Windows.
  2. As Domain/Administrator, open regedit.
  3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Forcepoint\Agent\
  4. Delete the value for DWORD "EndpointID".
    WARNING: Do not delete the entire EndpointID DWORD, just the value.
  5. Run your Sysprep script to prepare your golden image.
  6. Deploy the golden image to your endpoint machines.
  7. Verify that the EndpointID is unique. If the EndpointID is a duplicate, check the registry entry in the golden image or remove the value using the procedure below.
