    Everyone Peace Upon U,

    Is it possible to create Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM ISO?,

    I would be grateful if someone teach me how to do that in a way to bypass the insert product key step.

    Many Thanks In Advance.

    1. Download Retail ISO (link to my Repository, link is in my signature).
    2. Extract all files from ISO.
    3. Put $oem$ folder in sources folder (prepare OEM files and copy in $oem$, then copy it in sources).
    4. Rebuild ISO with CDIMAGE or OSCDIMG and that's it.

    Just add ei.cfg in the sources folder:
    Code:
    [EditionID]
    
    [Channel]
    OEM
    [VL]

    It will skip he product key prompt & install generic product key. You need to install your own key afterwards & activate.

    Now, it's your choice which ISO you will pick up.

    Check The Windows Server Repository which is in my signature.

    You have to choose between:

    Code:
    en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso --> Original Retail version - 09/09/2013
    en_windows_server_2012_r2_with_update_x64_dvd_4065220.iso --> Retail version with Update 1 - 02/04/2014
    en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_x64_dvd_2979250.iso --> Volume version with Rollup 1 - 17/10/2013
    en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_x64_dvd_3319595.iso --> Volume version with Rollup 2 - 11/12/2013
    en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_4065221.iso - Volume version with Update 1 - 02/04/2014
    9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IRM_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO - Evaluation version - 27/08/2013
    I recommend to pick up Retail one to make OEM.

    Oh! I forgot something.

    Is there away to add drivers to the image as well?

    Can you post a link for OEM files (backgrounds, theme, one xml etc.).
