I ntlited a windows 10 image but I get this error when I try to install it:

I remember that time ago I didnt use to have any problems with the unattended thing but then you included some option, the skipmachineoobe and the other one, and then I started having all kinds of problems with unattended images and had to be careful with it.

I attach the presets file, I dont know what is the problem.

Thanks
 
Hi,

tried the preset and it was fine.
Can you please attach the .\autounattend.xml file (edit any personal data or send it to support email) from that ISO with the error.
Usually it's generic Product Key in place of Activation Key, as one example for that error.
 
I think you are getting this error because in the specialize pass you have put an incorrect computer name. According to MS documentation it
cannot use spaces or any of the following characters: { | } ~ [ \ ] ^ ' : ; < = > ? @ ! " # $ % ` ( ) + / . , * &, or contain any spaces.
Click to expand...
XML: 
<settings pass="specialize">
            <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX">
                <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation>
            </component>
            <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup">
                <ComputerName>*</ComputerName>
Also SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are deprecated for some time now so they should not be used.
 
I used asterisk cause NTlite supposedly uses that to generate a computer name. I didnt use to have any problems with it in the past. Do you think it might be the two "OOBE"s? Id test myself, but each tests takes around 20 mins...

Oh, somehow missed this, will review it tomorrow morning and reply.
 
OK, so as I said before, the preset does not generate the error.
Your autounattend.xml does, because it has an empty ProductKey in it:
Code: 
<settings pass="specialize">
            <ProductKey></ProductKey>

You must have done that manually, maybe entered some key then deleted it manually later and left the empty element?
If you have an idea how can I get this via the UI, I'm listening.
To fix this, delete the above ProductKey line from the autounattend.xml or load preset from the first post and reapply just Unattended.
 
The problem was that I was putting the LEGIT key in both sites (activate and setup), but for some reason It doesnt work. It works if I put it only in setup.
I didnt have this problem before cause I wasnt using a legit unique bought key but the generic one in BOTH activate and setup.
