I have been just asking about this in the KMS server thread as I am going through it right now.
Are you doing a KMS or MAK license? For KMS you have to have 25 win 7 machines that you are looking to deploy. You are not going to activate before the image. Win 7 also has a different sysprep than XP as with the activation the machines have to be completely different in all of their settings. Sysprep has a generalize part that will make the image different for each machine. I think this is actually different than just changing the SID. You can also do it after wards, but before the reimaging looks the easiest. Here a few places that I have found in the last few days that may help. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303695.aspx#_Volume_Activation_ Management http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/649-how-can-i-setup-a-km s-server/page__s__67bcd561436fbc078d42f445226f15b2 Today hopefully I hit my 25 and see my KMS system spring into action, I am trying to be patient with this.

I know that the serial number goes in before uploading, my question concerns activation. Vicki M. Sexton District Technology Coordinator Carmi-White County Schools Carmi, IL 62821 [email protected]
