Multi-OEM/Retail Project {MRP} - Mk3

@tcntad You've got another mail too lol the decompile.exe to test

Because the 76.0 does not have the key in the database or the flag set to allow OEM-SLP checks for S2k16.

As more keys/certificates etc become available they will be added and tested prior to a new release of MRP.

 

As the Server 2016 Standard OEM key tests have all been a success the next MRP will be released as baseline sometime tomorrow evening (GMT).

Just finalizing a few things in the code, change log etc.

Also will add the correct 'readme' for the MRPConfigCreator this time.

The QT is having some tweaks done and this will be released over the weekend as well, probably slightly later than MRP.

 

Not long now , doing a Windows 7 install to make sure no problems with that OS.

Be about 25 minutes for this install to complete. Then if all ok i will archive the files and upload.

Done all readme/changelog's, (including the correct readme for the ConfigCreator this time ).

Set as Baseline, v77.0 in the end as a few little tweaks done to the code - hence this last test.

 

All went ok.

The Multi-OEM/Retail Project has completed.

Time to archive MRP ready to upload... Will post when everything done.

 

MRP v77.0 has been uploaded, password updated on the first post.

Quick Summary

+ Added Server 2016 Standard OEM-SLP key plus enabled flag for OEM Key checking and tested for activation. Thanks go to @Enthousiast and @tcntad for testing.

+ Few tweaks to MRP Branding and Addon Manager code. (Hence the last test on Windows 7 OS).

+ Re-wording on a couple of Reason Code text lines, hopefully makes more sense! -- ( Rare you would see those text codes, but wanted to make sure it was worded clearer ).

 

QT 36 testing in progress...

+ Enhanced SLIC table detection. Hopefully will detect a dummy/invalid slic and give a clue why something is not right.

 

As promised the Query Tool v36.0 has been uploaded and first post password updated.

Quick Summary

+ Added Enhanced SLIC table detection, if there is a table that is not right then you will see a note in the SLIC Information section with a possible reason why the SLIC is not working to activate. It may be because there is a dummy/invalid table present such as a modded bios that has a corrupted ACPI part which will result in activation failure. ie 'No marker present' which means one of the Table's ACPI entries is invalid.

+ A few other little tweaks to the code for speed and efficiency more so if the Fast mode is selected.

+ Re-Worded a couple of Reason Code text lines to hopefully make more sense than the cryptic ones that was written before.

+ Re-worded the #09 SLIC Version line to SLIC Information.

 

Majority of the time you will see either 'No SLIC table present' or the slic version number 2.x, if there is a problem with the SLIC then you will see one of the following messages:

SLIC table without marker present. {Meaning possibly a dummy SLIC present.}

SLIC table corrupt or invalid data. {Meaning either a dummy SLIC or a bad SLIC bios mod.}

It may not be 100% perfect but so far tests have concluded it does seem to work ok. I not got a corrupted or dummy SLIC'd computer to test, in theory it should detect a duff table.

Plus the reason code text will possibly show a message if the BIOS is at fault or a Certificate is missing etc.

 

Ah yes ignore the possible edition switch message its because the WMIC and registry are mismatched, One says Pro the other '16,' I still not worked out why the WMIC gets that part wrong. Tried all sorts to work that out!

One possible reason is the OS language. It not do it on all languages/editions just some.

OS Locale - en-ID
OS Language Value - ZZZ

May be the clue ?

I think Russian and Arabic also gives some odd return codes/information.

 

Yes, it is in the 'Optional' folder within the MRP archive. On the next release i will move it into the main folder so it is found easier.

 

Query Tool v37 is in testing stage as using a slightly different method to check for License Switches... Hopefully prevent that "16," etc glitch.

If no switch detected you will only see one line 'OS Edition {Registry}' but if there is a detected difference then 'OS Edition {Switched}' will be shown as well detailing the switched Edition.

The 'Switched' being what the new Edition it has been changed to.

So far things looking good.

Examples:
For Switched:

Code:

 OS Name                   - Windows 10 Pro for Workstations x64
 OS Edition {Registry}     - Professional
 OS Edition {Switched}     - ProfessionalWorkstation 

None Switched:

Code:

 OS Name                   - Windows 10 Pro x64
 OS Edition {Registry}     - Professional 

I know it looks same on the outside, but just this little change of code took me hours of testing!

*edit* Changed wording from Current to Switched. As always its all experimental and may or may not solve the glitch, this new code/method only works on Windows 10, (not Server 2016), all other OS's as far as i know not affected so they are not checked by this routine.

 ** End of Query Tool report. **

Will upload the beta shortly if anyone wishes to test it.

Hmm ignore the November refresh line i not finished that part yet.

Fixed the November 64 refresh line now.

 

Code:

 Link removed.

As mentioned it is experimental and may not show the data as expected. So far no problems, but as i only have a limited amount of test environments available i cannot foresee any glitches which may happen. No harm will be done to your computer as everything is read only and not write anything to the system - apart from temp files the QT uses and any saved reports.

 

OS Edition {Switched} - 16, This is a puzzle.

 

Not sure what is the glitch, had something like this with Servers it would obtain some odd result.

Just working on a 'fix' that might sort this...

 

@b01m, If you could copy/paste the code below and save as test.cmd then run it and post the results, it may give me a clue. Thanks.

Code:

@echo off
echo.
SET "INL=IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1"
FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=     " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "EditionID" 2^>nul') DO %INL% (SET "OSEDN=%%B")
FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=     " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "CompositionEditionID" 2^>nul') DO %INL% (SET "Compo=%%B")

echo.
echo EditionID = "%OSEDN%"
echo CompoEdID = "%Compo%"
echo.
