The keys I have found are mostly Dell for server editions and versions so if modding vmware to check activation's use Dell slic. There are a couple Fujitsu's but not many. Seems keys for these server versions are not as popular so if no activation occurs with another oem other then Dell, you might have to use kms solution. Branding should work in all server versions including the new TP. I got the query tool updated as well. Sending apologized the beta test version for him to test thoroughly. If all goes well, new updated version date will be posted soon. Thanks for your help apologized.
I need to be able to test the added server editions myself because of random mods for vmware slics plus I need detailed info on any failures. I will address servers after the holidays. It will take a week to find and download all the server OS's in order to test. Maybe in Jan 2016 I will have the beta ready. Take care and have a good day.
Can anyone share with me where to find server 2016 TP download link for testing? I cant find it shared anywhere.
Its called a AIO ISO and since it has nothing to do with the project you should use the search function to help you find more info on the details of making a AIO ISO. If nothing else start your own thread to get help with it. You will get more feedback that way.
Testing Server 2016 TP4...no keys for it but can check branding since I made changes. The testing begins.
I dont know if its the vmware new version that doesnt take modding or server issue. I am going to install the one before this new vmware so that bios modding works. This is probably why the project only installs vmware all the time...no bios mod with oem info so will always default to vmware. Will do more testing tomorrow. Next project for myself, create a new bios mod installer for the new vmware since Bigfoot and others have abandon the projects. I thought Bigfoot was going to make a new installer but I guess he changed his mind. I have the tools to create a new one thanks to a certain person here. This is a needed tool now days with the new release of ISO's and the new vmware.
tested TP4 with beta on VM 12.0.1 modded bios Dell slic 2.3 it's the same "Vmware branding and no activation" tested with same machine vm on win7 got everything working 'brand & activation'
Its because no dell bios info is added, only slic which when script query's, it only see vmware because no query return for oem or for that matter no MAN2 for activation found. Needs more then just slic added but bios oem id info as well. Without it, it will always do vmware and not any oem's. I am installing the old vmware so I can test the others at least. I just dont have enough time to create all these projects but I do need the tool to mod vmware properly so looks like I will address that at least for myself so I can test everything.
The reason no activation will never occur is because there are NO keys released yet, plus I need to check what slic version it is using now...if lets say, 2.4 then there are no 2.4 certs available yet. I might remove the activation part all together. There are only Dell and Fujitsu (only two for Fuj.) and most of you are using it for personal reasons so if not a Dell, more then likely you will have to use kms anyways. It does no good to even guess at slic version yet until someone releases the info from a real new server 2016 rtm machine. Ppl dont share those that much and it they do more then likely will be a Dell. lol
If someone shares it....your guess is as good as mine. Plus if any of them are released and shared with us, they will more then likely be Dell. lol Think branding only for servers would be better. Just my opinion. Also would only need to edit script for the 2008 so that image is changed on login screen. That would be the only change from what is posted on first post now. Really do think this would be a better direction.
yeah maybe should focus on it for now Winter (RTM) is coming edit ; begin with 2008 then upgrading to newest one
Exactly...give it some time but I will address the 2008 from original first post script so that login image can be changed to oem. Other then that, as your tests has proved, all works except for that branding of the 2008 login screen (before I made the beta). So we are agreed on branding only for servers? There is no since in doing the activation if not a actual Dell server. Then we dont have all version keys so it will be hit and miss as far as activation anyways. See, there isnt enough shared info on servers unlike home user oem's.
The login image was never changed because with original script it is skipped unless vista only so I know this for a fact. I will test all and get back with you. Time for a movie and a beer now. I have been working on my car all day plus a little testing on this and I am tired. Changed front crankshaft bearings, seal and crankshaft pulley. Its time to relax.
