Windows Product Key string for sysprep

Latest response

Hey,

I created a windows server 2008 R2 template - all went well up to the end when I try and enter the product key for 2008 R2 server.

The example lab says to use

rhevm-config -s ProductKeyWindow7x64=”enter your key here”

and when I put "enter your key here", it doesn't work LOL, no that's not the problem!

I am using server 2008 R2 I found ProductKey2008R2 in another document and tried it, but I get:

[root@UKwatRHEV-M ovirt-engine]# rhevm-config -s ProductKey2008R2="enter your key here (not to publish my key!)"
Error setting ProductKey2008R2's value. No such entry.

So just wondering! is that key right? am I doing something wrong??

Thanks for the help!

Bill

That rhevm-config command is working for me on RHEV 3.3.

[root@rhevm ~]# rhevm-config -s ProductKey2008R2="enter your key here (not to publish my key)"
[root@rhevm ~]# rhevm-config -a | grep ProductKey2008R2
ProductKey2008R2: enter your key here (not to publish my key) version: general
[root@rhevm ~]# 
[root@rhevm ~]# rhevm-config -l | grep ProductKey2008R2 
ProductKey2008R2: "Product Key (for Windows 2008 R2)" (Value Type: String)
[root@rhevm ~]#

ok, thanks, I am using 3.4, and your post led me to:

[root@UKwatRHEV-M ovirt-engine]# rhevm-config -l | grep 2008R2
ProductKey2008R2: "Product Key (for Windows 2008 R2)" (Value Type: String)

and then

[root@UKwatRHEV-M ovirt-engine]# rhevm-config -g ProductKey2008R2
Error fetching ProductKey2008R2 value: no such entry with default version.

and still getting

[root@UKwatRHEV-M ovirt-engine]# rhevm-config -s ProductKey2008R2="XFF6P-M6CM6-7JG4V-DX3DJ-4PQ78"
Error setting ProductKey2008R2's value. No such entry.

do I need some sort of version info with 3.4? or is this a bug?

oops...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119939

no longer supported in 3.4 and found in

/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/10-productkeys.properties

Documents need updating

accept the properties file name is wrong...I found productkey settings in the 00-defaults.properties

assuming it is going to work

Hi Bill,

Sorry to hear of your frustration - I'll pass this one on to the documentation team and see if there is any clarification we can add there.

Kind regards,

Andrew
