Hey, Sorry, I can't help you there I have a site license for all MS products I only use one PID for all my installations (in fact besides XP I don't use PIDs at all).
Maybe I could suggest a workaround though. When you instruct your users how to do the network boot you could give them a PID to use and set the RIS to request that during installation, then you could put a runonce script on the RISPREP that could do the activation, if you know what the activation numbers are. I don't know maybe what I am suggesting is more work that it is worth, but you never know. chuck -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 1:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] XP and RIS What about Activation and the Fact that you would have 1 PID for All your machines?

It should be located in the \RemoteInstall\Setup\applicable_language\Images\applicable_image_name\I3 86\Templates\RIPREP.SIF (change the applicable stuff as needed). You need to type ProductID = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" Include the dashes and the quotation marks, where the XXXX is the PID of there retail version of the OS into the [UserData] section of the RIPPREP.SIF file. However, if you leave the PID out it should just ask for it during the installation process. Of course that means that the user knows what the PID is. chuck -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 12:35 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] XP and RIS Question: If I'm required to activate Windows XP as well as use and Unique product, how do I do this automatically with RIS?
