I need to deploy a sysprep windows 8 &amp;&nbsp;office 2013 OEM for 600 laptops. We will deploy the image with bootable USB 3.0 sticks. <br />
<br />
The problem I'm having is with the activation. Because it is an OEM, each laptop needs to be connected directly to the internet. It is almost impossible to connect each device with a network cable while imaging.<br />
<br />
Therefor... I want the laptop to be connected to a WiFi network during the sysprep, so it can active itself automatically. <br />
<br />
How would you handle this?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
