Issue/Introduction
In order to speed up OS deployments, sometimes the initial set of packages are already installed in the OS image but when the OS is installed in a new target machine and the agent registers to the Domain Manager, the already installed packages do not get registered.
A way to achieve it is by running sd_acmd commands to add the installation records to the Domain Manager.
The list of initial set of packages are defined in a Procedure Group but when exporting the list from DSM-Explorer, the package name and version are exported as one field so it's difficult to build sd_acmd commands from it.

Environment
CA Client Automation - All versions
Resolution
Unzip the attached procedure group to sd_acmd.zip.
Run the following script to create sd_acmd lines from packages under a procedure group with the following parameters to connect to the SQL Server of the Enterprise or Domain Manager with the necessary SQL credentials and the Procedure Group name:
pg2sdacmd.bat <sql-server-name> <sql-userid> <sql-password> <procedure-group-name>
The created sd_acmd commands will need to be run after the OS installation by either a Software Delivery job or added at the end of the OS installation. The end of the file oobecustom.cmd of the OS image under DSM\Server\SDBS\var\managedpc\images\<image-name>\<image-name>\oeminst
