Win 8.x • Win 7 • Vista - 'Multi-OEM' ISO Project

Can't wait to test it cerberus, thanks a lot!!!

 

That tool was for win8.x to search the bios key and apply it to the operating system.
I'd imagine you could so something the same with a powershell command.
I seem to remember FaiKee mentioning one... I could be mistaken.

 

The key to making everything work in the oobe.cmd file was to get WMIC enabled for it is disabled by default during setup via a reg entry...if the reg key is there it tells the setup to disable WMI. Having it enabled now I can check activation status if kms is used in audit mode for example, the script would then of course skip activation for it would already be activated. I use audit mode a lot for installs on my machines then I capture the image and my office 2013 is already activated even after a recovery. Makes thing faster to be back online.

Note: oobe.cmd is done now. I have to test everything since I put it all together in modules so to speak. Mr. X get ready to get a pm for beta testing soon. I will be adding more resolution sizes to images tomorrow. Good nite.

 

I love it !
If xinso gets to update his project, the merger of the two will be perfect.

 

Would be wonderful. Just remember to add functionality for multi-editions aios for oem and generic machines.

 

Like Mr.X Im also very grateful that you picked it up. Its also very unfortunate that searchengine is no longer here, he did a fine job with this project!

 

Preliminary testing in VMware worked perfect but I need to test on my real lappy which is oem win 8.1 and check activation which I will do in the next few days. Adding more resolutions to images now.

@ tcntad...Agreed, Searchengine will be missed and he did a great job on this project.

 

cerberus, unfortunately I own only two generic systems (no oem) so that oem-dm thingy I cannot test it. But anything you need in a generic system don't hesitate to reach me...

 

Can update for "Surface" ?

Thanks

 

Yes it will work with the Surface tablet. I have enabled by default the f8 key function but for your case since it is a tablet you will need to find the bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy >nul and just put :: in front of it to disable that function in the oobe.cmd file...simple so it looks like this...

 

You are the best my friend !

 

Problem !
I don't found "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy >nul" in OOBE.cmd I have April 2014 update.

 

That's because it was not entered into that version. That's the old one from searchengine...my updated one I am still working on if you look back a couple pages. oobe.cmd is completed and oem-sync is no more but working on adding more resolution sizes to the background images...will take me some time (over 100 to do, lol).

Resolution sizes for background images are now...
-1680X1050
-1600X1200
-1920X1200
-1920X1080
-1366X768 (default if size not matched just like in searchengines' old project)

Just so everyone knows the old searchengines' project is not supported anymore by anyone here (searchengine is gone and will be missed). A new updated project is on its way but I must have the time to finish it to my liking first. This will not be my project so to speak but a community effort by everyone here at MDL. Everything is open source now so anyone can pick this project up and update it as needed. This is how it should be I think.

 

Okay is good
So the old version can use with Surface ?

searchengine is gone ?

 

yes, the old version still works on surface tablet...go for it. lol And yes, searchengine is gone...been gone for months now that is why I decided to update the project since no one else wanted to and no one objected.

Break time is over...back to adding images to the new project. I will check back in later today.

It's official...I hate resizing images. lol This is going to take some time to complete.

 

Looks like M$ will be changing the activation method for win 10. Possible no keys and will use some sort of online password. I am not sure yet about all this but I am sure it will be different considering M$ past OS's with different activations methods for each. Either way we shall cross that bridge when we get to it...lets not jump the gun on win 10 just yet.

 

I think of you my friend

Yes is truth, Microsoft use ESD files for update, and the Kernel was modified same time...

 

passworded rar sfx scripted to extract to a certain folder ftw.
