Sysprep - Skip the Product Key Wizard
I've sysprep'd my Windows7 Pro image and uploaded to K2000. Whenever I deploy the image, no matter what I put into the UNATTEND.XML, the product key wizard screen pops up on first boot.
I've tried activating later, using MAK & KMS keys, and a KMS server with no joy. Is there a way of skipping this wizard?

actually is the licensing part but it's wrong!
windows wants <productkey>pkey</productkey> for the license key in unattend.xml
neither sysprep tool or k2000 wizard (scripting install) set this correctly in unattend.xml - n1md4 6 years ago
