Are the machines covered by Software Assurance (which allows for downgrading with VL activation)? Do they come with Windows 8 Pro? See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832566. Personally, I’d stick with Windows 8 :) Thanks, -Michael From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Zuraff Sent: Sunday, January 5, 2014 5:12 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MDT-OSD] Imaging HP and Dell using MDT. I’m helping a friend setup MDT to image new Dell and HP machines that are coming in with Windows 8 down gradable to Windows 7. We are putting Windows 7 on the machines and need to figure what he needs to do for licenses keys on these machines. I’ve never dealt with imaging non corporate machines, so I’ve always used a KMS server with SCCM. What options does he have in order to image machines for other business that he supports. He has about 25 different companies that will need to refresh their PC’s over the next year. The PC’s range from 25-200 PC’s per business. I did some looking around and found different options, but I’m not sure what he needs to use to make sure that he is covered for Licensees these machine. Thanks
