August 21, 200916 yr I searched in google for this but i don't know if its right?When i run my unattended windows 7 version i stil get the question to enter the product key.In google i've read that it is possible to do it with the next text.<ProductKey> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Key>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</Key> </ProductKey>Can somebody tell me if this works or stands the X for a number so nobody can see it?I want to skip this part in the setup.
August 22, 200916 yr Windows 7 is a little different than Vista, and what you're doing won't work. Instead, use this if the key is retail or OEM:<settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"> ... <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <ProductKey> <Key>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</Key> </ProductKey> </UserData> </component>...</settings>If the key is a MAK key, you need to have it in 2 places (sort of):<settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"> ... <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <ProductKey> <Key></Key> </ProductKey> </UserData> </component>...</settings>.........<settings pass="specialize">... <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"> <ComputerName></ComputerName> <ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey> <RegisteredOrganization>Organization</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner>User</RegisteredOwner> <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> </component>...</settings>

August 22, 200916 yr If you add the product key section incorrectly, or in the wrong location, then yes your unattend will fail.
August 28, 200916 yr if you are using KMS MS provides temp keys that are used for the intial install and then can be replaced later on either manually or hte machine just registers with your KMS server.Here are the Windows 7 KMS Client Setup Keys:Windows 7 Professional - FJ82H-XT6CR-J8D7P-XQJJ2-GPDD4 Windows 7 Professional N - MRPKT-YTG23-K7D7T-X2JMM-QY7MG Windows 7 Enterprise - 33PXH-7Y6KF-2VJC9-XBBR8-HVTHH Windows 7 Enterprise N - YDRBP-3D83W-TY26F-D46B2-XCKRJ Windows 7 Enterprise E - C29WB-22CC8-VJ326-GHFJW-H9DH4Windows Server 2008 R2 HPC Edition - FKJQ8-TMCVP-FRMR7-4WR42-3JCD7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter - 74YFP-3QFB3-KQT8W-PMXWJ-7M648 Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - 489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems - GT63C-RJFQ3-4GMB6-BRFB9-CB83V Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard - YC6KT-GKW9T-YTKYR-T4X34-R7VHC Windows Web Server 2008 R2 - 6TPJF-RBVHG-WBW2R-86QPH-6RTM4
