I am in the process of creating master image for Vmware Horizon environment using MECM OSD Task Sequence.
To optimize I am using Vmware OSOT tool.
Generalise function of this tool can only be run when OS is in Audit mode.
I have already tried adding the Reseal option in OOBESystem Configuration pass of Unattend.xml, it did not help.
Please suggest how can I put the OS in the Audit mode during the task sequence execution.

    You may be able to find an unsupported way to do this, but it'll be just that unsupported. Also, without knowing what this tool does I can't say for sure, but it sounds like whatever the tool is doing is also unsupported as the only supported way to redeploy an image is to generalize it is using sysprep.

    Deploy the image with the task sequence then log in an run a custom script that runs the tool with sysprep so it happens outside of the TS. If you copy the tool and script to the VM as part of the TS that last bit you need to do manually only tasks a couple minutes of human time.
