Ok, Sir..i didn't mean to spam here...i seriously didn't knew the two servers are same and that if ping is successful, then it doesn't mean that the server is up for activation..Anyway..Thank you sir.
win8kms4.mooo.com is just a dynamic host i will updated so it points to a valid kms ip. anyone wanna clue me in on this permanent activation someone else mentioned?
Easy, buy a legitimate retail key or get a MS technet subscription and obtain yourself a legitimate MAK key
Most people still using a wired network! And it seems to be that you didn't know anything about an KMS Server! There some requirements before you're able to run KMS Service. Some of that requirements is that you'll have one computer designed as Server, which means as KMS-Server and on the same network with the same Master IP and the same Sub-Net at minimum 25 Client computer connected. If you have that you're able to activate more machines using the KMS Service of your server. If you also like the use the KMS Service for to activate Server OS, you'll need to have at minimum 5 additional Computer running Server OS connected to you local Network. Furthet on you'll need your special Legit Key, which you've to use to activate your KMS Server and you could than your KMS Server could start to activate others in the range that Key is working for. So, that's in simple words HOW a KMS Server will work. So as you asking, it's just impossible.
But this is not a reason to run a kms server on public ip address, fully exposed to the internet. Those people should visit the office at least once in every 180 day interval to reactivate, or use a secure tunnel from the outside world.
Ever heard of VPN? It was designed to allow secure "in office" type networks over public networks. You should never expose sensitive internal systems such as KMS servers to the wider world.
I know that and you know that. But a lot of sysadmins are lazy bums who don't want to configure it, that and users don't know how to use it 90% of the time. I fully support the idea of VPN btw.
I doubt they will ever restrict kms servers to the so called private address space of RFC1918. Many organizations run public ip's internally, and restrict access at the gateways.
Or simply buy it? Nobody is going to die from 60 euros. 200 euros kills you for sure. But 60 euros it's much more worth it.
