Thanks Alot, ive been wondering why this has not been working – such a simple solution for a silly bug. Worked on windows 2008.

Thanks a lot for the great tip. I find that running the scripts to change product keys do not work all the time.

Same issue with Server 2008, but I know why – I upgraded from RC1 to the RTM and it never asked me to re-enter a valid product key. I’m sure the RC1 product key was bouncing against the Activation service and getting rejected, but instead of a valid error message, “DNS entry could not be found??” Of course since it should be impossible to install software with a bad key, maybe they forgot to put meaningful error messages in the Activation service.

It’s the same problem with Windows Server 2008.

Thanks! This is just what I needed. It would be nice if Vista help & support would provide this type of resolution so that we don’t have to go searching for gems like this. Thanks again.

I appreciate the heads-up. I experienced this same issue on Vista Enterprise and used the suggested fix. It worked!

Thanks for that, MS need to get this solved, just a pain you can use KMS but you have to tie up a vista machine to do it and you have to have a minimum of 25 vista machines, thankfully I haven’t got that many yet, wish someone could tell me who thought to change everything, that used to be easy to find and hide it away making you look twice a hard, it wont go down well with staff.
