atuluchi Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So if I have a bunch of OEM machines(Dell, HP, Gateway, etc), and I'm creating an image for those machines, I can use the Product Key located in their WINNT.SIF from the Recovery CD instead of the Key on the sticker?In that case you already have to OEMBIOS files. And yes you can use the key in winnt.sif as long as your target machine will pass the BIOS check.You cannot use the same image for multiple manufacturers and still preserve the activation. (I'm working on that but am not ready to discuss any details.)Have you completed your multi oem cd preactivated if yes send this on torrent or guide us how to do this Unique Job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd6aaj Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Bezalel or anyone else,Do you know how to show the Product ID of the installation?EXAMPLE: find XP Product ID from Digital ProductID or some other way and output PID, like 55274-OEM-0011903-00102 for Dell?I'm just trying to be able to get the XP PID from the rigistry, a reg file or other files, instead of having to run MGA.EXE or something else.Thanks.

kd6aaj Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Just use the Win32_WindowsProductActivation WMI Class.Thanks!Unfortunately my coding isn't that advanced yet. All I can do is compile code, not write it yet. Someday I want to learn. I have Borland C++ 5.5 FREE version.I came up with a quick-and-dirty method of getting the ProductID from a running installation.I use a MSDOS batch file that saves the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT registry key to a .reg file.Then I can later examine it, and view the whole ProductID showing the version of windows installed,service patch, oem SLP info, etc.I finally (after many hours experimenting with other peoples code) got my batch file to save the name as a user input variable with date and time. For some reason the command line in XP won't accept the code, but it works when I just run the batch file. I think it has tho do with echoing all the text in the XP command line environment.Anyone intersted in my batch file? I won't post it unless you are.

dannypritchett01 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Bezalel youre the man! I have been wanting to make a custom XP MCE (Unfortunatly this pc came with 2002 and I have yet to find someone with 2005 that will let me have a copy so I am updated) clean install. This computer is a Compaq Presario SR2013WM that I bought for my grandfather. When I do clean installs for him it installs junk and virus scanners that are out of date. I was wanting a freshly made cd or dvd to use for his pc where I could always have it available if he needs to restore his computer. He barely ever uses the computer so while doing so I managed to save his favorites and have them copied over using oem folders. My question is this before I burn the disk as I am running low on disks at the moment. I copied his i386 directory out of his C:\Windows\i386 which I assume is so if windows ever needs files its located on the hard disk. I however had to get the other files and directories from a 32bit edition. My pc is a 64 bit pc so I assume so is this windows mce i386 folder. Will this work?

38956 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I've put together two files that can be used to make a pre-activated CD if all you got with your computer is a restore CD you will also need access to an OEM hologram CD for the rest of the files.
