Prompt to install Windows Genuine Advantage

Recently, I noticed that several Windows XP machines get invited to install the Windows Genuine Advantage software after being imaged.  I was wondering if there was a particular KB which makes this place.  I would like to avoid having to install this software on the systems in question because they are newly imaged machines that should already be corrected using WSUS.  I tried to search the WSUS server for patches that might be related to but found nothing referencing WGA or "Windows Genuine Advantage".

  • Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications stalls to "execution of process after installation.

    Hello.

    On a corporate network, with a licensed copy of Windows, I just finished installing a load of updates that a PC has missed in the last months or years.  To restart, a window titled "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications".  I click Next and it works fine, up to 80%, then it hangs at "running the process after installation" and never finished.  It is present each time that I reboot and reconnect.

    How can I do complete, or stop to run to the log in?

    Thank you

    Steve.

    1. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    2. Restart then open IE (only) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. If KB905474 is available now, deselect / uncheck and then hide it.

    NB: KB905474 may be listed in the optional software category on the left side. If an update of root certificate is listed there, also, install it to take full advantage of the integrated IE security.

    3. post a status report in response to this topic.

    PS: Are you "COMPUTER service" or SysAdmin for your company?

    [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove programs.

  • Windows XP Professional said that he has failed the Windows Genuine Advantage test. But I called the Windows Activation and the officer confirmed that my product key is genuine. How can I make Windows genuine?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. I installed and activated Windows XP while I had an Internet connection. This went well. I then download Microsoft Security Essentials, who then informed me that my copy of Windows is maybe not authentic. Confused, I downloaded the WGA tool, who confirmed that my Windows XP was not authentic.

    The Microsoft product activation call and reading my product to a CSR key, he confirmed that the key was official and I have to contact Technical Support. But Tech Support costs a bit of money, and I'm only 15 years to be honest (Yes, I have a bit of technical knowledge).
    My question is this: is it possible that I can make genuine Windows? This problem is getting boring now. I tried to reinstall Windows XP and re - enter the product key (I tried an online activation and a phone).

    You MUST use Internet Explorer for any process involving the Validation.

    You'll be rewuired first to install an ActiveX control, and in the case of wof Windows 7, Windows Activation Technologies update (if not already installed).

    Once they are properly installed, then the system should automatically refresh the page, and the continue button should implement a download button.

    Note that the use of some security software or settings may mean that the serveer is unable to work that your operating system and the browser is really - with the results that it tries to treat IE9 on Win7 as FireFox on XP - with the results you see.
