    I would avoid the place "EI.cfg" file
    on the internet does not tell anyone ... but if you put the files then you can not make a Windows Update within the previous operating system, why not be the opportunity to enter a serial

    boot.wim:

    index 1 - Client = Server

    index 2 -

    Client - WinPE Setup Client package

    Server - WinPE Setup Server package

    winre.wim:

    Client = Server

    If I'm reading this correctly, the eval ISO can be converted to a legit install for volume customers with active SA when keys are released. I'm double-checking to see if I'll be able to activate an install from the eval ISO using keys that will be released to my VLSC account when MS makes Server 2016 available to VL customers.

    I have never seen OEM = Volume.

    Eval - VL = 0
    Retail - VL = 0
    OEM - VL = 0
    Volume - VL = 1

    Yes
    since Win 8/ Server 2012, retail and volume licenses are interchangeable on same edition

    Windows 7 Enterprise and Professional vl has that, OEM with VL = 1

    The first build can be activated via KMS. Are you saying the second one can't? Both accept cumulative updates AFAIK. I guess I'm not seeing the distinction between whatever the "final" might be and either of the last two ISOs, when 3 seconds after an install everyone CUs, which brings everyone to exactly the same place.

    The EVAL editions simply convert to Full, there also is the leaked oemret (published by wzor), all are 14393.0 build.

    And KMS_VL_ALL (abbodi1406) and MTK2.6.1 (now there also is 2.6.2) can activate all of them (eval after converting to full).

    Symantec Endpoint Protection v12.1.7004.6500 (12.1 RU6 MP5) is compatible.

    Today installed Server 2016 (OEMRET) version leaked by WZOR. I am running KMS Server using MTK 2.6.1 - Was not able to activate Server 2016 using KMS server. Opened Server Manager - Enter VLK keys and was able to activate. Checked the license status using cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv - the Server 2016 got activated using my KMS server (192.168.x.x).

    My question is how can, I activate Server 2016 using KMS server automatically? Currently all version of Windows Server 2012 and Office are activated automatically using my KMS server. Do, I have to do anything with the ISO image (OEMRET) or wait for GA release from MS?

    I think you have just to set the correct key on your install.wim using something like

    Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Set-ProductKey:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345

    Save the image, rebuild the iso, and then your installed system is ready to be activated via KMS w/o replacing the key

    Just to inform:

    I've tested 2.6.2 on wzor's leaked OEMRET iso and 2.6.2 EZ-Activator inserted the KMS Client Key and activated without poblems.

    Tested on a VM and works perfectly. Fast installation and lightweight antivirus. I had tested the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 patch 8 but the installation takes 10 to 15 minutes, and it made my system a bit slow.

    Thank you very much :clap::worthy:

    What about the spying?
    Does Windows Server 2016 spy on user like Windows 10 LTSB? Or not??
