I don't have a KMS server in place. We use a MAK with our Windows 7 licenses. From what I understand, a KMS is not an option with that type of key. I don't need to re-enter the Windows 7 product key as part of my post-recompose task, just activate. Funny, MS Office 2010 activates without a hitch. Is it the way my script is written. The first step activates office, then "should" go to activate Windows. It almost seems as if it activates Office then just stops. Note, this does not happen when I run the script manually.

Weird and confusing...

Thanks for the suggestions thus far!
