OEM branding

[rupert]

Hi there, I'm trying to setup the OEM configuration (region code and OEM password), keep getting some unknown error messages.

Am I right that to initially configure a factory-fresh unit, I should upload an XML file like this, with the new password in the OEM group:

<configrecord version = "0.1.0.1">
    <configgroup name = "OEM">
        <configitem name = "Region">
            <value>European Union</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "password">
            <value>new_OEM_password_to_set</value>
        </configitem>
    </configgroup>
    <configgroup name = "XML Import Control">
        <configitem name = "OEM">
            <value>Set Configuration</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Restore Factory Configuration">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Reboot">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Missing Values">
            <value>Set to Default</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Delete WLAN Profiles">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
    </configgroup>

...obviously with the standard header at the top.

And then if configuring it again, say for a different region, I need to move the password item into the "XML Import Control" group (with an upper case P) like this:

<configrecord version = "0.1.0.1">
    <configgroup name = "OEM">
        <configitem name = "Region">
            <value>European Union</value>
        </configitem>
    </configgroup>
    <configgroup name = "XML Import Control">
        <configitem name = "Password">
            <value>new_OEM_password_to_set</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "OEM">
            <value>Set Configuration</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Restore Factory Configuration">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Reboot">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Missing Values">
            <value>Set to Default</value>
        </configitem>
        <configitem name = "Delete WLAN Profiles">
            <value>Disabled</value>
        </configitem>
    </configgroup>

When running either of the above on my unit, I get an XML error response: 'ERROR: Not permitted to change SKU' and 'ERROR: Failed in group "OEM"'. Can anyone offer any pointers? Thanks

Please try separating the "Set Configuration" from changing other parameters. So for your first example, break it into 2 XML imports (whether using WebAPI or CLI):

    
<configgroup name = "OEM">
     <configitem name = "Region">      
             <value>European Union</value>    
     </configitem>    
     <configitem name = "password">      
             <value>new_OEM_password_to_set</value>    
      </configitem>
</configgroup>

<configgroup name = "XML Import Control">  
      <configitem name = "OEM">      
            <value>Set Configuration</value>    
      </configitem>
</configgroup>

And the same for your second example.
