Sorry, you've posted in the wrong forum. This is for SCCM OSD only. Try the server 2008 forum.

Depending on how many sites you have and how often clients do connect to the internal network via VPN or otherwise, it's probably a better idea for you to use MAK keys.
You can hard-code a KMS name on a client using slmgr.vbs and publish the KMS on the Internet, but that leaves it wide open as it wasn't really designed to operate on the Internet.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

Use, MAK..
MAK key in Windows settings step, and a run command line step to activate, to wards the end of your TS "cscript.exe Slmgr.vbs /ato", If Os is 64 bit, remember to disable x64 redirect, as the script reside in system32
If your question has nothing to do with SCCM, and OSD! you might have more luck in the other forum like John suggest!Michael Petersen http://blog.coretech.dk/mip/

Thanks a ton dear John, Jason and Micheal for guiding me to the right path and right forum. I will try this. MAK i didn't want to use since it is university and MAK may get misused. scripting to divert the route for KMS over internet is a sweet idea. IK will
try this.
Thanks again all of you.
