Hello DSPatrick
Thanks for prompt reply
I run your command through powershell but no luck. It just giving blank powershell pop-up for 1 second and gone and server side nothing happens.
What currently we are doing manually is
1) cscript slmgr.vbs / dlv - To check ESU installed or not
2) slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx - To install product key
3) cscript slmgr.vbs ato / activation ID - To activate key
Any progress or updates?

We have no license key and pre-requisite issue.
just we need powershell script so that we can install product key and activation key remotely and saves our manual efforts
You could do something like list computer names in a text file
$computers = Get-Content -Path C:\computers.txt
then loop through them and do
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -ScriptBlock { slmgr -ipk <ProductKeyHere> }
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -ScriptBlock { slmgr -ato }

You can use the VAMT for online and/or proxy activation. To install and activate ESU keys using the VAMT, follow these steps:
Download and install the Volume Activation Management Tool.
Download the VAMT- ESU configuration file and update your VAMT configuration file.
Configure the client device’s firewall for the VAMT.
Add the ESU product key to the VAMT.
Select the product, right-click, select Activate, then select your activation method, as shown below:
