26.8.2009KMS 1.1 for Server 2003 is Release to Web
Michael Greene: The new version of KMS for Server 2003 is now available for download. As stated on the site, KMS version 1.1 for Windows Server
2003 provides:
- A single KMS host which supports volume license editions of both Windows Vista RTM/SP1 and Windows Server 2008
- Running KMS version 1.1 in a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine
X86 (EN-US) -
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=82964 X64 (EN-US) -
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83041 KMS on Server 2003 and
2008 should each behave the same way. In fact, if you want to use both Server 2003 and Server 2008 to host KMS, the clients can move between the
hosts transparently to the end user. The "rules" for number of activations to start activating servers (5) and clients (25) are the
same across both platforms, and you should use the same key to activate KMS regardless of whether it is running on 2003 or 2008.

05.03.2008Windows Server 2008 KMS Setup Demonstration
This video demonstrates how to implement the Key Management Service (KMS) in your organization. KMS is a local activation service, and is the
recommended method of activating volume license editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 in organizations where most computers are
consistently connected to the network. This demo shows how to set up the KMS host on a Windows Server 2008 computer, how to activate KMS clients with
the KMS host, and how to review activation status using the slmgr.vbs command.

06.02.2008Illegal KMS server appears on the Internet
The business launch of Windows
Vista is only a few days
behind us and already the
attempts to pirate Windows
Vista are underway. Recently
I stumbled on news of a rogue
KMS servers that has appeared
on the internet with
information on how to activate
a copy of Windows Vista VL
against the server. Once
activated your illegal copy of
Windows Vista will be good for
180 days before it needs to
talk to the KMS server
again.
KMS, which
stands for
Key
Management Service, is
part of the Volume Activation
2.0 scheme to protect Windows
Vista and Longhorn Server from
piracy. As part of your
license agreement with
Microsoft you agree to not
bring up a KMS server on the
public internet. This server
is a clear violation of that
agreement, which I doubt they
had.

05.12.2006Run KMS on Server 2008, and which keys to use when activating Server 2008
Michael Greene: The documentation for volume activation 2.0 has been updated today for Server 2008. You can find it here:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=75674 Running KMS on
Server 2008 is functionally very similar to running it on Vista RTM. You leverage slmgr.vbs to bring the service online and then clients find
the server based on the DNS srv record. BTW, Server 2008 KMS can be run within a virtual environment.
If you want to know
which volume license keys to use when activating new machines running Server 2008, see page 19 in the Planning Guide and the
FAQ. You only need to put one key in your KMS, and it
will handle requests from both Vista and Server 2008. There are separate keys, and unique keys based on which version of server you need to
activate. Before you get excited - this is much easier to understand than it might first seem. Simply decide the "top" version
of Server 2008 you might install and then use that MKS key to activate the service on a 2008 server. All versions in groups below that version
will also activate off that key. The groups are simple...

29.02.2008Troubleshooting KMS Activation - Part 1, the client
Windows activation is simple and straightforward if you understand the components. I have had a few customers that stumbled when getting a KMS online
and in every case it has been an issue with name resolution, network connectivity, or they simply did not understand how to use the keys.
Activation is designed to help you with deployments and sustain your environment even in the event a key gets lost. KMS is the simplest
of all the activation methods because you only need to worry about putting a key in one machine. You can then deploy new machines without having to
ever worry about keys unless your device will be off the network for more than 6 months.
This is the first of a two part series
to break down KMS troubleshooting in to a process that should help identify exactly what is at fault. I don't want to mislead or instill fear to
those who are just starting out - the process is normally simple by design. However, for those who have run in to trouble, I'd like to publish a
guide that will help you isolate and correct the issue you've encountered without spinning your wheels. Part 2 will be published next week with a
focus on troubleshooting the server.

01.09.2008Microsoft acquires virtualization pooling firm Kidaro
An existing tool which enables pools of users to share a single desktop from any location, and individuals' desktops to be centralized through
servers and distributed to thinner clients, will become part of Microsoft's growing virtualization arsenal.
The strategy
Microsoft has taken with regard to virtualization technology has been to be able to offer corporate clients and Windows Server customers at least one
option in each category. In recent months, a new option for virtualization has emerged: the ability for a server to host a single desktop that can be
pooled and run by multiple clients, from any remote client.

30.01.2009Cafe Latte attack steals credentials from Wi-Fi clients
Hackers have refined a new technique for breaking into Wi-Fi networks protected by the aging (and increasingly misnamed) Wireless Equivalent
Protocol.
The so-called 'Cafe Latte' attack aims to retrieve the WEP keys from the PCs of road warriors. The approach
concentrates its attack on wireless clients, as opposed to earlier attacks that cracked the key on wireless networks after sniffing a sufficient
amount of traffic on a network.
"At its core, the attack uses various behavioral characteristics of the Windows wireless stack
along with already known flaws in WEP," explains Vivek Ramachandran, a security researcher at AirTight Networks, who will
demonstrate the approach at the Toorcon hacking conference in San Diego this
weekend (19-21 October). "Depending upon the network configuration of the authorised network we will show that it is possible to recover the WEP key
from an isolated Client within a time slot ranging between just a few minutes to a couple of hours."

16.05.2007Hackers steal server log-ins from hosting vendor
Server hosting vendor Layered Technologies Inc. admitted this week that hackers broke into its support database and made off with as many as 6,000
client records, including log-in information that could give criminals access to clients' servers.
The Plano, Texas, company,
which operates a pair of data centers that hold the physical servers it manages for clients, said the break-in happened sometime Monday night. "The
Layered Technologies support database was a
target of malicious activity on the evening of 9/17/2007 that may have involved the illegal downloading of information such as
names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and server log-in details for <5,000> to 6,000 of our clients," the firm's CEO, Todd Abrams, wrote
on the company blog Tuesday.
According to other information posted on the blog, the database was reached through a vulnerability
in a Web-based application used by Layered's help desk. After hacking the Web application, the criminals next accessed the support database. "This
allowed them to then view tickets and their contents," said someone identified as Jeremy using the moniker of "LTADMIN." ..

stated it would not be supporting it in June with the rest of the carriers. AT&T said it planned to launch the service by the end of summer. AT&T
said the reason for not launching the MMS service in June was to see if their network could handle the increase in traffic.
