slmgr.vbs supress dialog

  • 772

We use a batch file with the following content to activate our windows domain computer after imaging:

slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
slmgr -ato

This works well, but there is a problem: after each command a dialog box appears and the file does not continue until you closed it.

Is there a way to supress the dialog boxes? (on success, not on error). A way so that at least both commands are executed without user intervention would be fine too (it gets boring to walk past 50+ computer and pressing enter on each of them)

  1. Calling via cscript also works

    cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs /ato

  3. As suggested in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41423512/batch-file-i-want-to-supress-the-windows-script-host-pop-ups

    add '//b' to your command. That suppresses the popup.

    e.g.

    slmgr.vbs //b -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
