Unfortunatlely, you can't use a Dell or HP preactivated Windows OS in a Virtual Machine and preserve activation.
I have found an interesting solution to this issue.
http://www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc/es...n_uuid_vms.htmlEnabling the Physical Hardware's OEM ID to Be Seen by the Virtual Machine
Each virtual machine is automatically assigned an Original Equipment Manufacturer ID (OEMID), comprising the Manufacturer and Product Name, which is stored in the SMBIOS system information descriptor. It can be accessed by standard SMBIOS scanning software and used for systems management in the same way you use the OEMID of a physical computer.
By default, the Manufacturer string is "VMware, Inc." and the Product Name string is "VMware Virtual Platform".
If the virtual machine's configuration file has the option
SMBIOS.reflectHost = TRUE
then the Manufacturer and Product Name strings in the virtual machine are the same as the Manufacturer and Product Name of the host system.
These strings are updated (copied from the host BIOS to the virtual machine BIOS) on every virtual machine BIOS POST (Power On Self Test).
You can use this method with VMware Server, install Server silently on a Windows host topic starter Bilou_Gateux
sample Windows XP Professional.vmx configuration file
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
memsize = "256"
scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows XP Professional.vmdk"
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "I:\CDIMAGE\VRMPOEM_EN.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.startConnected = "true"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
displayName = "Windows XP Professional"
guestOS = "winxppro"
priority.grabbed = "normal"
priority.ungrabbed = "normal"
SMBIOS.reflectHost = TRUEthis one is configured using infos from excellent VMX-file parameters by Ulli
Mass Storage Controller is set to LSI Logic to check MSD integration
Network Adapter is set to e1000 to check drivers integration
Of course use an eligible OEM manufacturer box as host for VMware Server.

Noticed in your KIX script path to %SystemRoot% is hardcoded to C:\WINNT.
I'm unable to make it works from a running Windows XP installation with Target OS Windows 2003 Server.:
SET
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS0 -
I remember a few months ago, i was looking for a tool i can run from command line to get infos about SMBIOS.
Multi Manufacturer Pre-Activation
I was disappointed to find this dmidecode website but no compiled version of the tool.
@#rootworm
So i want to thanks you for compiling it and share it with MSFN community.

Performing a customized unattended installation of Virtual Server
The Virtual Server Administrator's guide outlines how to perform a basic unattended installation of Virtual Server. However it does not tell you how to do a customized unattended install (where you only install some of the components). You can do this with the following command (all one line):
msiexec /I "Virtual Server 2005.msi" /L*v %TEMP\VS2005Install.log ADDLOCAL=VirtualServer,VMRCClient,DevAndDoc,VSWebApp PIDKEY=#YOUR_PID_WITHOUT_DASHES# /qb-
Where you remove the components from 'ADDLOCAL' that you do not want installed. So if you just wanted the VMRC client you would run:
msiexec /I "Virtual Server 2005.msi" /L*v %TEMP\VS2005Install.log ADDLOCAL=VMRCClient PIDKEY=#YOUR_PID_WITHOUT_DASHES# /qb-
Note: To get the .msi file with Virtual Server 2005 R2 you will need to run Setup.exe /c /t [drive letter]:\[path to the .msi file].

For the purpose of putting Internet temporary files on a RAM disk, you can use:
Free RAMDisk for Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 version 5.0.2.2
The size is limited to 64 Mb, large enough to browse the web.
For downloading huge files, a download manager is mandatory. Otherwise the size of downloadable file is limited by the free space available in the RAM disk if IE is used.

Don't know what tool is used to create/write/modify the ul file.
To create localized version of .ul file, you can download the ENU one, change the extension to .xml and open it with MindFusion's XML Viewer, Freeware XML Editor for editing.
you will have to change: jcarle instructions on post #3
First, the general information about the UL file must placed in the top-level <updatelist> tag.
Before adding the updates, the categories that will be used in the UL file must be declared.
The update items contain all the information on each individual update available.
- title
- description
- filename
- url
i have already 90% of update items infos (title, URL) for Server 2003 ENU (parsed from log files). See thread in HFSLIP pinned topics. maxximum FRA is available as starting point. Not enough time to edit

Keep up the good work.
I will try it later to see if it can solve an issue i have with MultiPortSerial PCI board. Board itself is installed without problems but i have to accept the installation of each of the 4 COM ports. Drivers for both PCI board and COM ports are digitally signed.
