This script will get the install codes for Windows and office and write them to the script log.

Handy for compliance and for those clients that lost their key codes.

You will need to download keyfinder.exe from www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

great script. I would like to mention that in my experience, the Office key is right most of the time, and the Windows Key is never right.

I believe that Windows scrambles the key code, so even though it gives you a key that looks legit, you cannot actually use it in any real way that I am aware of.

Again... the Office key is almost always the correct key, so you can use that one....

now a coprporate key might appear with the jelly bean... I have not tested it.

sometimes the key is listed here too.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/Productkey

but all in all I am unaware of any software tool that will give you the proper CD install key for an OS.

You may be right. I've never tested the code. Is there a way to find out if your code is legit (other than trying an install?)

I would guess that if your keys dont work then you are pairing it with the wrong media version.

XP Keys for OEM, Select, Retail, MSDN etc....are not interchangeable.

Kaseya does this inherently now in the Audit function - no need for Magic Jelly Bean anymore!
