2008 Server Activation Error – 0×8007232B

If you are getting an activation error on your 2008 server something like:

“Key management services (KMS) host could not be located in domain name system (DNS), please have your system administrator verify that a KMS is published in DNS.”

Don’t stress it is the same problem / error that I blogged about earlier with VISTA activation problems, just using a different error message.

Here is the blog post for the Vista activation fix, it also works for 2008 server.
