Hi,
We are currently using Intune Licenses for Windows 7 however we a are switching to a different AV provider. We will need to change the product key on 120+ domain workstations to a new VL key. Is there a way we can automate this process an deploy to all workstations?

May be you need a script or a bat file to change product key:
slmgr.vbs -ipk YOUR PRODUCT KEY
Or KMS may helpful to you:

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your reply as it's pointed me in the right direction. I ran slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxxxxxxx /ato and although it successully installs the key it doesn't activate the product.
I've just stumbled across this http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=11936 and it seems like it's doing the job. Have you used this in the past?
