I extracted and backed up my cert/key from my OEM HP machine that came with 7. When doing a clean install. Is there a way to add the cert/key into the install for automatic activation? I am using a 7 iso and the MS usb tool. I deleted the ei.cfg file to install what ever version. But like I said. Just need to add the cert/key to the install for automatic activation on my machine.
Hi, I read the sticky last night and was able to insert the key/cert fine manually. Which worked out fine btw. Maybe I should have been more clear in my post. I wanted to add the cert/key into my usb stick and when windows 7 installs. It will be activated already with out me having to do it manually. If there is even a way to do that with in 7?
Here are two registry files that will allow you to take ownership of the folder from context menu. Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas] @="Take Ownership" "NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F" "IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas] @="Take Ownership" "NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t" "IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t" Save as: InstallTakeOwnership.reg Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas] Save as: RemoveTakeOwnership.reg
Hi, where does these code (above) go in ISO? So far, i have "7 Oem Sources Folder Project" in ISO - source
sorry. i thought with that code i can intergrate in oem slp dvd so it give ownership because some folder when i click it say i not admin.
If you only want automatic activation i would simply use an OEM folder. Its clean, simple and quick. Just drop the Cert in, add a CMD that installs the PKey, install and enjoy.
Here a step mentioned are really a nice and easy for all who install Windows 7 OEM,that is good you try this step then it easuly activate it install automaic activation on machine.
