Its probably best to set up a KMS Server for this sort of roll-out.
+1 on the KMS activation pretty straight forward to set up.
if you havent got a KMS i think the Slmgr.vbs script will still activate keys not something i have tried mind
Thanks for replys we do not KMS and how do you use SLMGR.VBS
is there a simple guide or someone that has used it before?
KMS is the way, you just set it up on a server and the clients will activate themselves. Here is a guide

if you have maks keys then use vamt 2.0 you can search network for pcs give it the key (if you diddnt in the transform) and proxy activate a bunch at once
I am currently fighting with KMS...and loosing.
My computers have run out of time to activate lol so im in a bit of a rush.
VAMT picks pcs up from AD but then fails to do anything with them! ARGH
How many Installs do you have?Quote:

Do the clients have firewalls on? Sounds like they are blocking the WMI check from the server.Quote:

Eugh, Ive set inbound rule, made sure the KMS knows it. DNS is there...only thing left to do is go check there isnt firewalls on the machines but there shouldn't be....doesnt mean there isnt....
Clients do have firewalls on but its picked up my inbound rule...
Sorry, ive realised ive completely taken over someones thread!
