Hi All,
I build/Image/HDD to SSD Upgrad lots of new PCs.
And a lot of the time I need to get the Key from CMD - wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey. And then Activate Windows.
And I was wondering, How can I use the output from { wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey } in a .BAT file to activate windows.
I need to Automate the Setup prosses after Windows is installed.
Thank you in advance.
Hard to answer as this would depend on what version you are using, how you are upgrading, what type of licence you have etc.
I don't know what the commands would be to capture the product key into a variable. But let's say the product key is captured into the variable %prodkey%. The next commands to install the product key and activate Windows (and it would have to be connected to the internet) would be:
slmgr /ipk %prodkey%
slmgr /ato
Then you would need a command to click on the dialog box that appears:
Why need a script? does setup not auto select the OEM key and seamlessly install and activate it?
I can do a PShell (only Batman does .bat) script... if need be.
To run them silently.. prefix those commans with "cscript"I don't know what the commands would be to capture the product key into a variable. But let's say the product key is captured into the variable %prodkey%. The next commands to install the product key and activate Windows (and it would have to be connected to the internet) would be:
slmgr /ipk %prodkey%
slmgr /ato
Then you would need a command to click on the dialog box that appears:
NavyLCDR / cereberus - Thank you for your Help... I will work on the variable %prodkey%, and "auto" text box thing....
Superfly - Thank you aswell, Sometimes it won't Activate by its own. The reson it is a .bat is that the Laptops are for customers and i don't want to install PShell and all its dependents on the laptop. But thank you for you offer to make a Script..
I will run over everything later today, once again thank you all for the help so far. The poeple on formes are AWSOME!!!!!! Thank you for helping out People with less PC know how.... You are superheroes
