jtidd Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 we are rolling out office 2010 ready for september, is there an easy command line that can activate at login and activate the product online. I have managed to get windows 7 to activate Thanks
bandgeekmafia78 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Its probably best to set up a KMS Server for this sort of roll-out.
SHimmer45 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 +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
jtidd Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 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?
FN-GM Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 KMS is the way, you just set it up on a server and the clients will activate themselves. Here is a guide Office 2010: Set Up an Office 2010 KMS Host - Windows Video Demo | TechNet Windows 7: How to Set Up a KMS Host - Windows Server 2008 R2 Demo | TechNet 2
sted Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 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
Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 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

Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 40 odd, way over the 25 machine business. I think one issue may be i needed to update VAMT. Next issue is saying that it cant contact WMI on the remote client so currently playing with that issue.

Next issue is saying that it cant contact WMI on the remote client so currently playing with that issue. Do the clients have firewalls on? Sounds like they are blocking the WMI check from the server.
sted Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 you have opened up the ports on the kms server firewall havnt you i forgot that recently and wondered why nowt was activating
glennda Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 you have opened up the ports on the kms server firewall havnt you i forgot that recently and wondered why nowt was activating Oh yeah and that - it needs TCP 1688 inbound
SHimmer45 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 is the DNS entry present and correct for you KMS server?
Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 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....
Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Clients do have firewalls on but its picked up my inbound rule... Sorry, ive realised ive completely taken over someones thread!
SHimmer45 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 are there activation requests on the KMS server from your clients in event viewer?
Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Oh! There is, thats new! Cant tell if they are good or bad requests though...but its certainly something!
Little-Miss Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Ok, heres one for you....if your computer has reached a stage where its publicly accusing you of having pirate software....will it still look for KMS host?
SHimmer45 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 if your KMS is getting the requests this is good as it means that the firewall to your server&client isnt causing you a problem (id still turn it off on the client as a test also). is the KMS server actually activated properly? as i had an issue where someone had installed windows/office with a KMS key which then advertised itself and was attempting to handle requests when it wasnt activated. this link might be useful for all the switches for slmgr.vbs Slmgr.vbs Options id remove the key from the machine which is reporting and then rearm it. and see what happens, if it doesnt work then id go back to the server and check that the correct key type is installed and that its activated properly
Little-Miss Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 When you say activated you mean running Slmgr.vbs /ato? I've done that on my server and it says successfully activated... this is what confuses me..
FN-GM Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Yep it is @FN-GM I know the issue. Sysprep doesnt reset the SID for office 2010 use this script (batch file) on a office 2010 client machine and see if it activates. @echo off :OSPP reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\OSPPREARM if %errorlevel%==1 (goto RUN) else (goto END) :RUN set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles% "%ProgramFilesPath%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPREARM.EXE" C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe "%ProgramFilesPath%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles(x86)% "%ProgramFilesPath%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPREARM.EXE" C:\Windows\system32\cscript.exe "%ProgramFilesPath%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\OSPPREARM" :END Exit Edited July 12, 2012 by FN-GM
sted Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 try this on your kms server cscript.exe C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs /dlv > "c:\Users\you\Desktop\kms.txt" you should get a txt file similar to below Microsoft ® Windows Script Host Version 5.8 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.
