'Time out' activating Windows 10 with VAMT

Hi,

We need to activate Windows 10 Pro (MAK) licences on an intranet without internet connection.

We have installed VAMT (version 10.0.19041.0) on a pc inside the intranet, and on another one in the LAN connected to internet. I'm using a USB drive to export the .CILX file.

We are getting the problem acquiring confirmation IDs for CILX... The message is 'Successfully adquired confirmation IDs for 0 outs of X products. (The action was not applicable for 0 products in the file).', being that X the numbers of computers.
Then, taking a look into the .cilx file the error is:

<LastActionStatus>The operation has timed out</LastActionStatus>

<LastErrorCode>-2146233079</LastErrorCode>

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sounds like an internet related issue.
Have you checked the machine where VAMT is installed has proxy settings configured correctly?
You should check the directions on this site:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/volume-activation/scenario-proxy-activation-vamt
Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) firewall exception has been enabled for all target computers. For more information, see Configure Client Computers.
Hope above information can help you.

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.

We are not using proxy, and those instrucctions and information you suggested is what I have been following to configure everything. I also have a GPO for the WMI firewall exception in the isolated network.
That's the reason I'm so lost, because I've been checking and following all the steps from microsoft site.

I hope you or someone else can have any idea. Thanks!
