Preserving OEM preactivation

[redxii]

I only saw a discussion on how to hack the BIOS to get a SLP 2 table. I already have all that (legitimately).

How do I integrate an OEM certificate & cd key? I don't want to create a full unattended install. Just the cd key should be answered and everything left to be answered by the user.

[ashleyoneill]

slmgr -ilc <<name of cert>>.XRM-MS

that command will install the certificate.

You could put the product key in the unattend.xml and then also run the above command using the sychronous command setting either in specialize or oobe from the unattend.xml

Copy the XRM-MS file to \SOURCES\$OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\OEM\ (you will need to create this directory).

Create a file called PID.TXT and place it in \SOURCES\. The contents should be as follows:

[PID]
Value="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
