When performing a full host registration you cannot get past the product key prompt. It continuously asks for it when hitting enter. The problem lies in fog.man.reg

@Tom Elliott, that is great, it is one less thing I have to implement each time I upgrade!
@Ivanov Alexandru I believe it should work with no changes but currently where I work we are still running 1.1.0. My guess is that some of the line numbers may be off. However, if you would like help implementing it into 1.1.2 I would be more than willing to assist you. You can PM me if you wish me to help.
@axel12: I may not be understanding you, but at the institution I work at we do not have the luxury of volume licensing, each computer has its own unique product key.
@jayphizzle We just upgraded to 1.1 and implemented it, but we were using this modification on 0.32 and 1.0.1. There are additional changes I have implemented. However, I am going to re-code them to be cleaner. Once I do that I’ll post all of my changes.
[B]Edit[/B] All changes I have made for v1.1 are now in the original post in case this feature is not put into FOG but people, like jayphizzle wish to implement it.
I’d like to suggest that FOG auto-activate computers after imaging. In my current environment there are many different models each with a unique product key, meaning each computer must be activated manually. This automation would be accomplished with the hostname changer used in the FOG Client. Below is the current code that I have been using.
[B]Edit 1[/B] – List all changes made and switch to hosts table instead of inventory
– Made this proposal similair to a guide, but it is still a feature request

[B]…\FOG Service\src\FOG_HostNameChanger\MOD_HostNameChanger.cs[/B] (if you have not made any other changes to this file, you may download a compiled version of it in the attachments)
Once this change is completed you must compile the dll (or use the attached one) and give it to every instance of the client, or use the Client updater in FOG.
