• Script to change the tools upgrade policy

  Someone at - it script PowerCLI to change the strategy to upgrade VMware Tools on all the virtual machines in a cluster or a data center?

  Thank you

  John

  Hello, jconidesGP-

  You should be able to use a VirtualMachineConfigSpec and reconfigure the given VMs as you wish (the vNoob talking about something like this earlier in this post).   A similar decision and it for a cluster, would look like:

  ## create the config spec$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec -Property @{    Tools = New-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo -Property @{        ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle"    }}
  
  ## get all of the VMs in the given cluster, and reconfigure them with the config specGet-Cluster myCluster | Get-VM | %{$_.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)}
  

  What to do for you?

• Can I activate Windows with a cd MAR key while using an OEM drive?

  MAR CD key, OEM disc

  The PC has been a repairer authorized Microsoft, and a product key of MAR on the side panel of the tower.  However, the disk hard out crapped and does not come with discs to re - install windows.  I have a windows XP Professional OEM drive, which is what the OS was when I got the computer.  In any case, MAR product key will not work with the OEM version installed from the disc I have.  I have no idea where to get a drive that will work with the key to the MAR, is there a way that Microsoft can upgrade the MAR touch to an OEM or retail so I can activate Windows?  Or at least I can activate this Windows again?

  If you have the key that works with the OEM disc, use it for installation only - do not activate.

  After the installation of Windows, use the official Microsoft product key Changer tool to update your product key and activate Windows.

• Change the preferences upgrade?

  I use Adobe Reader X (10.1.1).  My upgrade preference is set to "Automatic download and install upgrades".  I want to change it to "do not download or install updates", but when I check this box, it gets automatically replaced by "Automatic download" when I submit the change.  How can I do accept the checkbox "do not charge upgrade"?

  The reason why I asked if the menu "Check for Updates" turned on was to make sure that you are the Admin user.

  Looks like you are.

  What happened when you clicked on it? Have you seen Updater dialog?

  Can you please try to find the file AdobeARM.log once more for me?

  The temp on XP folder is C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Temp

  where YourUsername is the name of the currently logged in user.

  If your goal is to turn off automatic checking of updates, set the iCheckReader DWORD value in the registry less than 1

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM

  Note that this registry path is for 32-bit systems.

  If your system is 64-bit, the path is-

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM

• How does the OEM? Can I use an OEM disc with a product key, I already have?

  So I just bought a laptop preloaded with Windows 7 32 bit. I would like to install clean with win7 64-bit, but I don't have an installation disc and I can't find one online that is not cracked which leads me to the conclusion to go out and buy the thing. So the question is: if I'm going out and buying an OEM version, can I use it to clean install, using my previous product code provided with my laptop? Or is the OEM software and key, it comes with a part of the binding process which binds to a machine? Any info would be much appreciated. ~ Vince

  If you buy the exact same OEM version as your current license (Windows 7 Home Premium - Windows 7 Home Premium) it will work.

  If you have difficulties to activate Windows 7 open the Windows Activation Wizard in Windows 7 to use the phone and activate Windows:
  During the Windows 7 installation at the entrance of your product keys page, do not enter your key and uncheck the "automatically activate when online.
  1. When you reach the desktop, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
  2. press enter on your keyboard
  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the option to activate the phone, then call and hold to a real person.

  Difference between a full license and an OEM license
  Windows OEM licenses:
  are related to the first computer installed on and are non-transferable
  cannot make a room upgrade from older versions of Windows
  do not offer any free support from Microsoft
  allow the hardware upgrades of all components except for the motherboard (unless, of course, because the card mother original becomes defective)

• Cannot change the license OEM keys in XP Pro

  I installed XP Pro on a laptop of Levovo using Lenovo recovery media, no tricks all 100% according to the rules. Now, I want to change the license key of the OEM key to our valid XP Pro volume license key.and get the incorrect product key. We have a handful of laptops that need XP and they get to slow down and want to reload with Lenovo XP.

  You * may * be able to use the product key update tool - it usually works the other way around (from Volume to the retail/OEM), but it can also act the way you want.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/help/genuine/product-key

  Normally, however, you must install a Volume with Volume media license - especially in WIn XP.

  Also note that a Volume license can only upgrade a valid original OS - Win XP Pro in this case.

• I need to change the product key

  We work with images here and we have a lot of machines that are identical.  We have activated Windows on the original image and did all the updates before creating the image.  Now, when we use this same image, it is still saved and activated with the initial machine where the image has been created, but the key to use is different because it is another computer with a new Microsoft Windows XP sticker (certificate).  I used the "KeyUpdateTool_enu" downloaded directly from Microsoft and after you enter the new key, it says that it cannot update the key.

  I tried the msoobe /a registry proposed on the site of Micrsoft hack and it says that Windows is already registered.

  So what I want to do is to just change the product with a new key.  The key corresponds to the version of Windows, so this isn't the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  Its slow but it works as long as you don't have too many computers:

• Change the product key for Windows 7 Code

  I bought a package of Windows 7 from a supplier without realizing it was a distribution of subscription "not for sale". It is now installed on my computer after a painful migration from a dying hard drive which had Windows Vista installed. The old drive is now corrupt and not repairable.

  When I tried to record the installation, I found that he was blocked. I have to make sure that it is for the reason above somehow. How to check this?

  It seems I have to buy another Package of Windows 7 but I don't want to do a fresh install since I went to great effort to set up the installation on a new SSD and have all of my applications transferred intact.

  Is it possible to just change the product key of the new package to apply to my existing install without having to reinstall everything?

  Just for the completion of this thread, I decided to pass my final action to get my computer system operating system up-to-date.

  Assuming it was a MSDN product licensed, it was repackaged in a retail store packaging and sold as such.

  Needing my computer back to the status of full support, I bought a 64-bit edition (non - OEM) of Windows 10 full retail on USB media. Is it installed just fine on top of the MSDN license of Windows 7 and allowed me to install without erasing the contents of the disc. My applications and drivers are intact. Windows 10 also all updates installed correctly.

  This allowed me to remedy the situation without having to re - install everything that would have been very time consuming.

  Thank you for your help.

  Questions of OEM Windows 7 key

  I have a question: if I use an OEM of Windows 7 key from a pc by the same company that makes mine (ASUS for example), it will be valid? Note that my PC doesn't have the mobo it is changed or upgraded. I ask because a friend gave me a key which it has been used on another computer (same System Builder) saying that it will improve the Windows 8 operating system, and it will no more need. I really don't want to have any nagging restriction because my copy has been hacked, upgrade in Greece, costs 100 euros.
