Server 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016 now branding, also some can now be OEM SLP activated!, see Server-ReadMe.txt for more details in MRP archive.
Note: Some SKU/Editions may not 'exist' as such but have included them for conformity.
Evaluation versions can be branded only. They cannot be activated.
Objective - add $oem$ folder to .iso /usb.
• $oem$ method can be used to apply activation & manufacturer brand to your Win10 • Win 8.x • Win 7 • Vista '.iso'/usb
• NOTE:- PC needs (Win8.x and Win10 'OEM-DM' • Win7 '2.1 slic' • Vista '2.0 slic') bios to apply genuine oem activation.
• Project includes optional Telemetry disabling, (WinTel.cmd), for all supported OS's and adds domains to block through Route commands.
• Optional Retail activation method via online, if needed.
How To:
Win8.x|Win10
Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and add custom 'ei.cfg' file to the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso. Windows will install the edition identified from 'ei.cfg' file. (Project 'Options' folder includes 'ei.cfg' instructions). OOBE.cmd will call tool that will extract embedded 'OEM-DM' key from bios (if exists), and apply the serial during installation.
Note: Win8.x login background limitation, you cannot change system login background color to an external image.
Note2: Win10 Login background is limited to user sign off only, not system wide.
Win7
Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and delete the 'ei.cfg' file from the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso... during install you will have option to select the edition of 'Win7' you want installed (ie. Starter • Home Basic • Home Premium • Pro • Ultimate)... if you don't delete 'ei.cfg' file, that's OK, just means whichever version the ISO was for will install by default, (Home/Pro etc).
Vista
Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and delete the 'PID.txt' file (if exists) from the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso... during install you will have option to select the edition of 'Vista' you want installed (ie. Starter • Home Basic • Home Premium • Business • Ultimate)... if you don't delete 'PID.txt' file, that's OK, just means serial used on that file will determine edition installed.
Server Editions
Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and edit|save iso... during install select the edition of 'Server' you want installed making sure it has the GUI installation, NOT the core only version! • Please read the 'Server-ReadMe.txt' file included in the download folder, for additional information.
• Please read the 'readme' files included in the downloaded archives for additional information.
• "UltraISO" recommended to edit|save your .iso, preserving 'bootable' image.

Note:
Important: If you use a 3rd party 'homebrew' ISO for installing Windows from such groups as Gen2 please be aware that due to their 'pre-activation' and 'OEM additions' this may cause your install to fail or 'hang' due to conflicts with MRP.
Changelog Summary:
+ Tweaked the MSDM routine that i wasn't 100% happy with as well as some other areas. They worked before but could glitch on some VM's, rare, but it could happen. Thanks Enthousiast for finding that obscure bug!
+ Added a new Option, 'Block Cortana'. While MRP does NOT remove any files related to that process it does however block its output to anywhere. Firewall blocks are in place and also turns it off on the lock screen and no longer chimes in when unexpected! The search box is changed to a magnifying glass icon and any searches are LOCAL to your PC only and does not do any online searches via Bing etc.
In testing (for past couple of months) the Cortana block has worked on my personal computers and even monthly CU updates not reset it back on. A major OS update such as from RS2>RS3 or RS3>RS4 etc would probably reset all the settings as it does for most of the OS, because it technically is a whole new OS install.
The process of Cortana is still present this is to allow the search feature to still work, (not that the Windows search is that great anyway!), but any 'chatter' is reduced to virtually nothing i cannot say it is 100% blocked as there could be a sneaky way it 'leaks' something beyond the known tweaks/firewall blocks used.
+ Quite a lot of work has been done in the code sections, making sure Error checking is up to date and working as it should, if it is triggered.
Most of the changes you won't notice as the areas may not output anything into the saved log. This is why it looks the same as v82.0, there may be the odd clue of a change, more so if an error occurred.
+ A few minor changes to some wording here and there.
+ Config Creator v2.3 has had a little makeover as well as adding the Cortana Block Option and other bits... ![Wink ;) ;)]()
