The only two ways I know to set the key are (1) to set a default, e.g. "Default","Windows XP Professional ProductKey","XXXXXX" and (2) to set it per machine, as in my previous email. I don't actually know if or how (1) would work, since it's so long since I've heavily modified my csv file.
I don't know how you would identify a machine as belonging to a certain pool, then identify that pool's product key. Perhaps it's possible, but beyond my knowledge and use of Unattended - sorry! In a pinch, you could write your own backing to it. You could find the perl(?) script files which refer to the csv file then modify them to suit your purposes. I'm no master coder so I'm afraid I won't be much help there either. Cheers, Greg.
