Hello,
Can someone help me troubleshoot a new image I am trying to deploy. I have downloaded Windows 10 x64 21H2. When I deploy this it is not activated, how do I add the Volume License key? Also, I included applications that did not install. In the past the deployment had check boxes to choose each application and this did not. I have moved the Applications form a previous Deployment Share, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Let me know what further information is needed to figure this out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, @jbooze
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
You may add below info to your CustomSettings.ini file, remember to update deployment share after adding this info:
ProductKey=AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE-FFFFF
SkipApplications=NO

Hi, @jbooze
I see you have deleted the default step "Install Application", you may add it back and choose "Install multiple applications", then you may see all the applications in the wizard.

Hi AllenLiu-MSFT,
That worked for the OS product key! I added that as you suggested (see attached) and imaged a test computer and the OS shows as activated. However, my applications are still not installing. When I boot the deployment flashdrive and start the deployment process, it does not even show Applications in the left pane as one of the steps. What can I do to troubleshoot that?
Thank you,
Are we sure we have the "Install Application" step in task sequence.
Hello, AllenLiu-MSFT,
I went to the Task Sequence and when I clicked Install Applications it just added Google Chrome and Abode. These two applications did install when I imaged my test machine already. However, the remaining of the 14 applications (see attached) I need to install, did not? When I update my Task Sequence if I update my Media and the overall MDT Deployment Share will that be sufficient to test any changes? This has been very helpful.

Hi, @jbooze
After you update your Task Sequence, you can do the test directly.
