Windows 7 activation with SCCM 2012 Task Sequence

[opdsccm]

Hello All:

 

I am having hard time activating the Windows 7 with Task Sequence.

 

In the Apply Windows Settings task sequence step, I have entered the MAK and created a new task sequence command line step (General > Run Command Line),

 

Start in : C:\Windows\System32
Command line: cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato

 

 

and tried placing it up and down the taks list, but no luck. Can someone please help with this task? Thanks!

good stuff... you got it working via changing the reg key....but still bemused as to why it would'nt work without having to perform this reg entry.

 

Do you have a proxy like geoffp mentioned?

 

Just another thing I thought I'd mention......I never activate my custom image at this site prior to capturing it, it is captured in an unactivated state then the key is embedded into the OS during OSD and then my activate run commandline activates it automatically wihout failure.

 

Did you activate your image prior to capturing it?

Yes I did activate and you are right! I spoke too soon when I said Reg. Hack worked. Now that I am trying to deploy on other machine, it is not working.
