Good News: KMS fully functional for all products

After much fighting with conflicting documentation, and engineers from Microsoft, i was able to finally figure out the KMS and Windows 7 activation system, and have setup all a server (the same one as before, do-dc4), to handle all our KMS activations.

At this time, all new Windows versions (Windows 7 / Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2 -- All editions) are activating with our KMS server.

I have posted all the necessary information for recovering, or rebuilding that service and activating all the necessary keys, in case I get hit by bus :) . you can find this information at http://wiki.chino.k12.ca.us/operations/instructions#microsoft_product_activations

For those not interested in the gory details of the server setup, I have a very short and sweet piece that handles only the client side, (perhaps the helpdesk and the trainers would be more interested in that).
