Thanks for the quick response. Is there any other way of doing this as I have had lots of problems with changing windows product keys with Windows 7. As I said I have no experience with XML. So if anyone has an unattend script(complete) for such a thing it would be appreciated.

Hey, I am deploying a few Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on some Dell E6400 ATGs, I do not have a volume license but the laptops all have the same spec. I used sysprep /generalize /oobe without an answer file. Everything pretty much worked according to plan, except the Product ID and Product Key remain the same as the original. Each laptop ideally has to have its own product key. I am using a 3rd party cloning tool, that does a basic sector by sector copy of the HD and partitions. Everything else I can configure on the machine when it boots up. So can someone give me any XML answer file to use that will simply prompt for the product key when the cloned machine boots up instead of taking the copied Product ID and Keys from the original machine? Thanks in Advance, Martin
