as Nutanix describes in the docs at the ClusterPrep chapter https://docs.frame.nutanix.com/account-management/frame-AHV.html#clusterprep the following command must be executed during sealing

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe" -ArgumentList "/oobe /shutdown /generalize /unattend:C:\ProgramData\Frame\Sysprep\Unattend.xml" -Wait -NoNewWindow

Based on a recent POC in our project, I think we only need to run the Sysprep command on the Gold Master Image for the very first time. After that, Nutanix Xi Frame will create a new Gold Master Image called Sandbox as the parent machine for all virtual desktops. If you want to upgrade OS or install applications including BIS-F in your virtual desktop, just do it on the Sandbox rather than the Gold Master Image and therefore no need to run the Sysprep command again.
