KMS and Windows 10 Deployment

Good Afternoon,

We are currently using MAK keys for Windows 10 in our K2000 Image.  

How can we utilize our KMS key?  I have a KMS server setup without key.  What would I change in our unattend.xml file? 

Here is our current sysprep:

I made a mistake in the above into.  We have the KMS server setup and the key is installed.  I just need windows to auto register if possible.

            <EnableStartMenu>true</EnableStartMenu>
        </component>

and in a post task use:

start /wait cscript %SystemRoot%\System32\slmgr.vbs -ATO


Note the kms server requires a minimum 25 activation's against it


Comments:
  • Sounds easy enough. I take I use the KMS key for Win 10 Enterprise that is on our MS volume site? I know we had to use the server 2012 for win 10 key in order to activate on the KMS server itself. - m698322h 7 years ago
    • yes, you get your key from MSVLSC and put that on the KMS server

      • Thank you! I have added Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10 key to the server and the KMS key for the OS in the image. First time using KMS and I am shocked it's a 2 minute setup. - m698322h 7 years ago
      • it goes quick if you know the steps, We kms activate every image and the ones that need MAK to go off campus I run a post task to switch them over. - SMal.tmcc 7 years ago
