HK10/100

Okay, so I solved my own problem by muddling through Microsoft's volume activation deployment guide. But I thought I would share in case anyone needed it in the future. Thanks to those who posted their suggestions. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SystemLocale>en-us</SystemLocale> <UserLocale>en-us</UserLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UILanguageFallback>en-us</UILanguageFallback> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key></Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <Organization>_</Organization> <FullName>_</FullName> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 ENTERPRISE</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Name>Owner</Name> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Password> <PlainText>true</PlainText> <Value></Value> </Password> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> <ProtectYourPC>2</ProtectYourPC> <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE> </OOBE> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey> <<<---MAK PRODUCT KEY GOES HERE! <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Username>Owner</Username> <Password> <Value /> </Password> <LogonCount>9999999</LogonCount> </AutoLogon> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> <ComputerName>Rev4-1-10</ComputerName> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:C:/Users/Someguy/Desktop/Windows_7_Unattended/GRMCENVOL_EN_DVD/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 Enterprise" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> Now to figure out how to trigger program installations...

That's another option. I'm trying to put the key into the autunattend file, but I may have to do it the way you suggested if I can't figure it out. Thanks Keep the suggestions coming.

Hi everyone, I've been trying to create a 32-bit 7 unattended with our Enterprise media and product key. My problem is that the MAK/Volume license product key doesn't go in the same place as a retail product key in the autounattend.xml and Windows setup rejects the key as "invalid". However, if I leave the key blank the unattended works fine. Once in windows I use "slmgr.vbs -ipk" and "slmgr.vbs -ato" to replace the default enterprise key and activate Windows. My problem is that the slmgr vbs generates a result dialogue "The product key xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx was successfully installed." and you have to press an OK button. I would like to do this the right way and have the key built into the autounattend.xml. I was wondering if anyone out there who was working with 7 Enterprise could post their autounattend so I could see where the key should go? or any other idea's/suggestions they may have. Thanks

Hi Eddie, I have tried the link above and it does work. These are the lines from my silent ZA Pro installer. @ECHO OFF ECHO Installing ZoneAlarm Professional 7.0.337 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Zonelabs\zapSetup_70_408_000_en.exe /s /i /lickey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /noreboot As for your original post... The "could not find config File C:\Documents" could be due to the space in C:\Documents and Settings. To resolve this, enclose the path in quotes. Example: "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Zonelabs" or whatever the path may be.

You can install all extensions, bookmarks and settings by copying your profile directory. Copy your profile to the applications directory on your unattended DVD. Then write a batch file to execute after firefox completes its silent install. The batch file should then copy your profile from your Applications directory to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\RANDOMNAME.default That is what I do to keep my portable copy of firefox up to date on my flash drive.
