    That script is not for use in MRP and not to be placed in the scripts folder. I have already mentioned several times it will not work in that way and the reasons why.

    All those 'extra' scripts within Optional are for use AFTER the OS has been installed, ie normal running of the OS.

    Which means when you are at the desktop you can then run that batch script by right clicking and run as Administrator.

    and what's the origin of english, it's England, you see: english - england lol
    usa which is a country of just about two centuries old, they just steal the language and they made an accent of their own
    English language has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years.
    The earliest forms of English, a set of Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century
    thanks :D

    I tried to see if i could change the Device/Computer Name during oobe on Windows 10, sadly it cannot be done as it is ignored via the OS and does not change from what it is preset to during Setup.

    So for those that wish to change the Computer Name you will have to run the 'ChangeComputerName.cmd' script manually AFTER the OS has been installed. Or use the normal way via the 'Advanced System Properties > Computer Name' area.

    Also it is not wise to run that script when you have installed any Server OS, use the Management Dashboard for that or results may not be as expected and may cause the Server to be unstable.

    i've just downloaded the 17746.1000 insider a while ago lol typical they bring another one out! :p

    Only installed it to check for the 'Your Phone' shortcut to see how to remove it, but if you select Block Adverts option and NOT allow the phone to be used then it not appear so it must be related in some way... I bet m$ will change that time RS5 is released.

    Code:
    [MBINF] Chassis Type          : [Other {1}]
    is normal for VMware as its flag is not set usually in the settings or .vmx config. But for normal computers it should show the correct type in use.

    Code:
    [MBINF] #09 SLIC Information  : [255.255]
    Typical Lenovo with a dummy/invalid SLIC!

    It confuses the MRP SLIC check code but obviously would not activate because of it.

    I gather you are using the Loader via setupcomplete :) One way to get around it for Win7 activation.

    On the next MRP release the SLIC detection is now enhanced enough to recheck if the SLIC is beyond tolerances, so you will see the version 2.x or a message stating if not vaild, dummy/corrupted etc.

    What originally i thought would be one line or two of code ended up quite a few lines. :D

    Thanks to @Enthousiast for thrash testing Windows installs to make sure i not made any errors.

    QT v70.0 will be released shortly. :)

    A few improvements done, such as advanced SLIC checking, (if needed), some cosmetic changes in lines/text.
