windows web server 2008 activation

February 18, 2008

Hello

I downloaded the Windows Web Server 2008 from MSDN and installed it.

Now i would like to active it - unfortunatly i get an error message:

---------------

Windows Activation Error

A problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error Code 0x8007232B.

For a possible resolution, click More Information.

Contact your system administratior or technical support department for

assistance.

More Information says -> Code: 0x8007232B, Description: DNS name does not

exists.

---------------

I checked the internet connection and DNS settings of my server, everything

is working fine. I can open webpages in IE7 without any problem.

Berni,

sounds like you are using with a Volume Licensing instance - for which you

need a KMS server. Try using the MAK instead...
