Dear Sir,

My client has a question as below, he can not Acitvating windows. please assist. thanks

All the PCs are the same Advantech IPC (Model:ARK-1551) that is windows 10 IOT version.

My procedure for configuring signs is as follows:

I take 1 IPC, install all software and configure it.

Then I take an image of the installation and place the image file on my PXE-server.

All the signs is the connected to the mains.

I use a monitor to change the BIOS setting to use PXE, and write down the MAC-address

I define all signs IP, ID, PC-Name , Signs etc. for each MAC-address on my PXE server

Then I Boot all the signs in the network with the PXE-Server, so all Signs get the same image from the PXE-Server and will be configured according to the list defined.

Then I use the VAMT software tool to activate windows. This is because we are not allowed to connect the signs to the internet after configuration

    Hello Sam Hsu,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    You can try the troubleshooting steps below:

    1. Ensure the devices can reach the activation servers if using online activation.
    2. Check the VAMT logs for any errors or issues during the activation process.
    3. If VAMT encounters issues, you can use the command line for activation:

    slmgr.vbs /ipk <your_product_key>

    slmgr.vbs /ato

    For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Microsoft documentation on VAMT

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
