Hughesmar Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I've used the instructions on this site previously to create a completely unattended install CD with Sp2 integrated into it. What I need to do now is create an unattended install CD that prompts for the product key before beginning. The whole reasoning behind this is that I need to send this CD to some satellite offices, and I'd rather not give people the ability to copy an unattended CD with the product key already built into it.Is there a way to do what I'm asking?

Mordac85 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Are you talking about Office or Windows? If it's Office just use the ORK to make a trasform w/o listing the product key. For Windows, just leave the product key field blank and it should prompt you to supply the info, depending on the install mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that when you follow the procedure on this very site to Slipstream service pack two into the CD you're required to enter the product key when you create the administrative install point. Is there any way around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 After creating the unattend install, go to the setup.ini file and delete the key. Search for this file on the CD, browse through the content and you should find the reference to the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else could it be?Like previously mentioned. The key is provided when slipstreaming service pack 2 into the install when you follow this guide here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
