Activate an MSDN Windows Server 2008
Last week, I have been upgrading my Windows Server 2008 RC1 with a fresh Windows Server 2008 RTM downloaded from MSDN. Installation on my Toshiba M4 went smoothly and I was able to use the Windows Vista Drivers provided by the Toshiba web site.
Then comes the moment to activate my MSDN copy - I went through the following problem:
Error Code: 0x8007232B
Description: DNS name does not exist
As usual, when you have such error, you start searching the net to find the right answer. I started with this KB entry http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/938107 but wasn't very successful.
After spending some more time, I finally found what had solved my problem and will probably solve yours if you came to my blog for this. All explanations are detailed in Jim Blizzard's Blog at the following address:

Thanks Jim.
