This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
We have bought many desktop systems with the same config and created image to install OS quickly to reduce the man hours.
But ifter cloning none of the systems are communicating to our SEPM server because of same hardware ID. Is there any resolution to regenerate Hardware ID centrally?
Appretiate you quick response.

Script to remove Hardware Id.If you are comfortable to proceed with script then try this on a test machine and then on all machines.
Create a batch file and insert he following lines and run it from GPO.
start smc -stop
Del "%programfiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared\HWID\sephwid.xml "
reg import HardwareID.reg
start smc -start
create another batch file .File name should be HardwareID and add the following lines and deploy it from GPO.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC\SYLINK\SyLink]
HardwareID=""
once done all the machines need to be rebooted for creating the new HWID.

cannot generate manually.
