Morning All
I'm looking for a little help, i have been asked to create an image on windows 7 that will be deployed through the company i work for, but installed at the suppliers end then shipped to the end user directly.
I have created the image which is ready to go and will be using Ghost to create the master image, I have prepared a answer file using WAIK which has the VLK. To validate the licence key i need to setup a KMS (which i have never done) which i guess the machines will validate the licence key through instead of using the internet. However i do have 2 questions reagrding this,
1) How does the OS once it has been ghosted onto the new computer, know if must validate the licence key to a KMS and not directly to Microsoft on the internet?
2) What happens if a user if not on our network and is unable to see the KMS
Any help would be great
Stu
PS: are there any sites for help in setting up the KMS
