Configure server edition using SCCM OSD tasksequence

If you are creating a Standard Operating Environment (SOE) for your server fleet you might have had this question already.
How would you choose and install different versions of server edition's as part of the OSD task sequence?

Well the answer is easy, you can use DISM to set server edition then enter the client product key on the command line.
So, for example if you have Server 2008 Standard image captured as a reference image and want to deploy as Enterprise edition, run following command as part of your task sequence;
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerEnterprise /ProductKey:489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3Y /Quiet /NoRestart
If you have Server 2008 Standard image captured as a reference image and want to deploy as DataCentre edition, run following command as part of your task sequence;
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDataCenter /ProductKey:74YFP-3QFB3-KQT8W-PMXWJ-7M648 /Quiet /NoRestart
Create a custom task sequence variables to install the required server edition.
