Hello everyone

I recently updated my WAPT server to version 2.4.
I am experiencing a problem activating Windows with deployment via WADS.

For your information, I'm using XML for offline domain joining on Windows 10. I've already seen threads about this problem which seemed to have been resolved.

Can you help me find my mistake?

I forgot to mention that our workstations are activated with OEM licenses

Hello Johan,

You set the following value to False; is there a reason for this (it's True in our templates)?

Code: Select all

<SkipAutoActivation>false</SkipAutoActivation>

It is best to let the activation happen after the PC installation; it is more reliable.

Sincerely,

Denis
