Explanation for OSDKeepActivation contradicts what the variable name suggests #2246

Specifies whether sysprep resets the product activation flag.

Going by this description, setting the variable value to true, one would expect the activation flag to be reset. However, this contradicts what the variable name implies, which is to KEEP the activation flag. Unless I am mistaken. In either case, the wording is confusing, if not incorrect.

The documentation for the SMS_TaskSequence_PrepareOSAction WMI class has a better explanation, however I will open an issue on it as well to improve the wording.

true to keep the current product activation flag or reset it. The default value is false.

Here the value of true is explicitly attributed the purpose of keeping the activation flag, which imo should be reflected in this article to take away any confusion.
