    I found the x64 bug. I am addressing it now. I corrected reg entries now so they all get applied and stay. Back to testing...

    Probably doesnt get said enough mate, but a lot of us appreciate the time and effort projects like these (and pretty much everything on MDL) take.

    Not just with the expertise in things like coding but also the testing, corrections, re-testing etc. Especially in a VM (my lackluster rig crawls to a halt with VMs at times)

    So,

    Thank you. Upload a almost-final and get drunk for a couple of weeks :)

    That is because I left the query for preview in script for future testing. I plan on adding support for 2008-2016 servers in the future but will not enable desktop experience which must be enabled to have desktop view. End users can enable that feature themselves. I dont have server editions so I will rely on feedback if any issues arise.

    Again, this will NOT include enabling desktop experience in server editons. End users will have to enable that themselves but I think most can handle that. This will be a perk of the multi oem project. It's main focus will be on normal oem machines, the server additions will be a perk only.

    Server support todo list:
    -add support to script for non preview server versions - Done.
    -add what keys and certs I can find -
    -add support to query tool -

    The branding should happen for 2012-2016 because its the same in script as win8/10. The ones that will need testing for sure will be 2008-2008r2. Thanks for testing 2012r2 but I expected that to work auto. I will pm you with link to beta once I am done if you have 2008 and 2008 r2. Took a break to watch the football games. Will work on this later tonight to add keys and see if anymore cert are out. Most certs are already included but never hurts to check from time to time for new ones.

    Made the script more specific to allow for activation but as far as branding, that is setup for the most part I figured and now with you posting the pic, its now confirmed. Thank you. Most of server keys I have found are mostly Dells. Certs are already included in project for those. I will make a list of supported windows servers with keys and certs but obviously if not found activation will not happen. Let me know if you test 2008 for branding conformation. I expect it to also work but now is the time to let me know before I compile everything for beta test version. I will finish on the keys tonight so I will send pm tomorrow for beta testing activation's if you bios mod vmware. I dont know if your into that but would be nice to check activation's of supported server versions I am including. Thanks again for all your help. Makes this so much faster. :)

    Note: The last thing I will do is update the query tool to make sure main scripting is correct. That will only take a little while to compile.

    I already edited script for the 2008...it should work in the beta release. I have a few things to do this morning but will finish adding keys and will send you pm with beta link. Thanks for all your help. :)

    Note: I hate when you look online for keys that some do not even say what edition it is. grrr The keys will take me some time because of additional research needed to make sure keys are correct.
