My copy of Windows 7 has already been activated by me months ago, full legit retail of Ultimate.
However, today at home, I joined it to my domain down stairs in my basement. It joined successfully, but now the of my Window 7 PC is asking for activation again upon each login.
I have some Window 7 Pro's that after joining the domain, will not take Microsoft updates. It's like that don't have the rights to do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a number of new Window 7 laptops and have joined the company domain with no problems (SBS running Windows 2003).When I was on the domain I set up a number of printers by browsing the server mainserver\OkiC9650 and finding the printer and it and correctly installs the drivers and provides me with full functionality for the printer.However, if for some reason I have to leave and then rejoin the domain, and I don't delete the printers first, when I rejoin the domain the printers are no longer showing (as one might expect), and when I try to add them again, or add anything connected to themainserver\OkiC9650 I get an error.
It don't think it is anything to do with the printer as I can't connect to any printer in this way.Although the 0x00000006 indicates a permission problem it is not that or a setting problem as it works the first time and no changes are made other than leaving and rejoining the domain.It happens with four laptops, two different makes, and three different models.I don't think it is a Server problem as I have tried leaving the domain, and deleting the Computer name from the Active Directory, and even tried giving the joining computer a different name between leaving and joining. I was hoping if it was recognised as a new computer it would work at least once - but still no good.I am therefore left with the assumption that the problem is with Windows 7, there must be some sort of reference not being cleared that results in a 'duplication' type error when I try the same action again.
If I delete the printer first, before leaving the domain, I can rejoin the domain again and setup the printer correctly, the problem is when I don't delete the printer first, I can never then connect to the printer in this way (I can connect directly to the printer if I use the printers IP address).I am convince the problem is with Windows 7 - can anyone suggest where the mainserver\ reference is being held in Windows 7, or if I am barking up the wrong tree if they could suggest what tree I should be barking at?
how can I join windows 7 home premium to a domain, while my domain option is already off in my computer, what is the way to make that on and connect to the domain?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to join a domain on Windows 7 and I receive the below error message. I'm testing with 2 computers on the network. The other computer is a server with Windows Server 2008 and DNS installed. I set the DNS on Windows 7 to the server's IP address. Installed domain controller using the frasersales.com domain. After restarting the server the computer logins into the domain. The A record for frasersales.com is also pointing to a website. Not sure if this will affect it.Pinging the domain controller works. I was reading on the web that after installing the DC there should be SRV records in the DNS managers domain name folder. Looks like these are missing. Is it possible to manually add them?

Something went wrong after we joined the new domain it doesn't see the new domain for login and the local Administrator account has been disabled. The only account available is the guest account. Is there a way to enable the local administrator account again?

Is there a way to designate a specific OU when joining a PC to AD so that I don't have to join it, then performa separate action of moving it from the default Computers OU to the desired custom OU?For example, I want a laptop to end up in the following custom OU: "<Domain>/SF/Laptops/Windows 7" .(Interesting note - when I typed the reference OU above without the quotes, the ""Windows 7"" is automatically changed to "Windows 7" when I save the thread.)

What is the best course of action to transfer my retail lic. for Windows 7 home from one computer to another?
Here is the situation. I had Windows 7 on my Mac as a dual boot, and it was a upgrade from XP on the same partition on my Mac. I have since formatted and sold that Mac so Win. XP or 7 is no longer on it or anything.
I am building a new Windows machine I want to install XP on and then use my Win 7 home upgrade to install Win 7 on that machine. What is the best way to get XP and 7 deactivated from the old (nonexistent) Mac and reactivate on the new machine?
What a pain MS makes a simple situation. P.S. if I need to call MS what is the number?
i'm trialling out Win7 Ultimate on a machine here that i'm thinking of upgrading to win7. the only problem is, it only lasts 3 days and when i do the re-arm trick it only lengthens it by another 3 days? this is the trick i've been using and they say it lasts 120 days? [URL]
i need more than just 9 days to test out win7 fully before i make the upgrade move on this machine.
I am using Windows 7 Pro and I've had it for a year and my computer is starting to run slow. I would like to reformat the HD and do a new install so it's will run fast again. Can I reformat the HD and reinstall Windows 7 using the same activation key? Or would I have to buy a new key?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Hacked (Again) for Keyless Activation
Lo! Yet another Windows 7 activation hack appears. This one's a little more creative in that it doesn't require an OEM key at all, and instead bypasses the verification DLL completely.
The new hack nullifies sppcompai.dll, and even deactivates all the reminder popups that would otherwise ask you to activate indefinitely. But don't expect the party to last long. This crack closely mirrors an old Vista key workaround, and if Microsoft patched it easily then, they'll patch it easily now.
The crack is possible probably due to leniency allowed on the part of Microsoft on [the] activation mechanism to avoid getting too many false-positive or complaint on activation error
It just sucks that this game will continue. Microsoft obviously wants to make activation as painless as possible, but will probably beef up the security next time to fix these sort of exploits. Like most of you, I'm sick of DRM causing headaches for the ones who legally purchased the software, and developments like this certainly won't help.
Activation with windows 7 HP MGA Diagnostic report?
[code]...
I recently had to upgrade motherboards in one of my computers, resulting in Windows 7 asking to re-validate. I still have the disk, but all of the licenses on it are used up. Is there any way to get another license key without paying the $100 for a new copy of Windows?
Install is Home Premium from an OEM machine. I read that this doesn't give you access to Microsoft tech support, so is the option of calling and requesting a new one not possible?

View 5 Replies View Related1. I have 2 computers - one running Windows 7 Pro x64 (main computer for work and gaming) and the other running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (second computer)
2. Both Windows 7 installations are OEM.
3. The second computer has been sitting dead for close to a year because the motherboard died and I have not really wanted to spend money getting it running until now.
4. The route I am taking is to upgrade the main computer (motherboard, CPU, and RAM) and put the current "main" motherboard, CPU, RAM into the 2nd computer.
Logic would dictate that I ONLY upgrade the 2nd computer and make it the main computer. However, the Main computer has an SSD Hard Drive in it and the 2nd one does not. So, I'd prefer to keep the SSD HD for it's speed. That's why I've chosen this convoluted replacement process. There are other reasons for the convoluted process if you need elaboration let me know.I did see a person ask about upgrading and keeping their license. I'm not sure if Microsoft views reasons for hardware changes due to failure differently. I suppose it's a matter of luck?
Did a fix there recently on a HP pavilion. it suffered a hard drive failure and there was no recovery discs in situ. I purchased a replacement hd and purchased recovery discs from hp. So the build went fine and everything installed ok. Then it asked me for the product key. Now I have several Windows 7 discs but the only reason I had purchased the recovery discs is because the key sticker had faded and was illegible. So after spending 38 bucks on these discs I cant get past the activation issue. I was able to read an xp key before in the OS but when i googled this procedure for Windows 7 I ran into all kinds of key finding tools etc. I tried 4 but none of them worked, they gave me keys but activation rejected them as default keys.
View 4 Replies View RelatedRecently I've been prompted by my computer to validate my windows 7 as it may not be genuine etc. Although when I go to either activate online or re-type in my key, I receive the error 'code 0x80072f8f' and it closes.I've researched the topic before posting this, and ran the diagnostic tool and got the following results,

My laptop says that the windows activation period expired and asks me for a activation code. Well, i did a little research and found a way to see how many days remaining left for the activation. When i saw it in the control panel, it says that my windows is activated and even shows the activation key! My desktop is still black and it still prompts me that it is still not active.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have done a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 on and Acer Aspire 5738G Laptop that I originally purchased Brand new from a large trusted company.
I am having trouble activating "error code 0xC004E003"
I got that error using a product key a programme retrieved for me before I done the clean reinstall. I did not know about the product key sticker on the bottom of my laptop at that time.
The key on the sticker won't even type all the way so I can't even test that key, I had the same problem and with that key on the last install and was told i had the wrong ISO now this ISO is no different. This laptop has been in for hard drive repair with new image, now I don't know what key the they used to activate. I would assume the same one(hopefully) I had BSOD problems and thats why I have done a clean install which has fixed all the problems I had previously.
what can I possibly do to activate asap I only have three days to fix this? Code:
