Long time lurker with many of my issues fixed.
I work for a Business that is a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher. The powers that be recently changed the rules on us and every computer that is sold needs a refurbished license. Our Old work flow is capture an image upload it to WDS then use that image to setup our systems. Those images included Drivers and Apps. We did the OOBE and activated each computer that did not have digital entitlement. With the new rule we would have to install an OS activate it then put another Clean image on the system. My Question is, Is there away that we can get windows activated with out having to manually do it. We have a script that will "phone home" to license server give a key then upload that key with serial number Microsoft. The script does not need to be out in the wild. So adding a run after first boot script wouldn't really work. as someone could easily get it using another OS to browse the PC before first boot. What can we do?
