Windows 8 KMS Activation

KB2756872? Have fun with it.

It updates uxinit.dll and uxtheme.dll to b16420, so custom themes are gone after update again... :/

 

Premised you deleted kms host adress:

Code:

cscript slmgr.vbs /skms kms.host.ip
cscript slmgr.vbs /ato

If you deleted key too, you have to enter it again first.

Code:

cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk YOUR-KEY-HERE-XXXXX

That simple .
Regards

 

currently having fun with it on 7 machines. Where is your problem? The first ones rebooted properly without any issues

 

Install is running in VM, will soon report back. Over.

 

If they do it for internal users, it's funny how they do not have a firewall to block access to IP ranges outside their turf. Also, isn't it risky to access that server? I mean what if they keep access logs?

 

Yes I was going to wait until the others go down. I already had one server taken down.
I will wait

 

Why what is it.
Do you have any ideal.

 

Meanwhile all re-booted and all are fine here. Only issue was the last one had to wait as the download was very slow because of a big traffic now.
All machines running perfect and all are still activated. Purchased keys and KMS have no issues as of today

 

Confirmation.

Can confirm, no problems with this KB so far: View attachment 18062

 

I haven't got any problems either after installing the update (and I'm running it on one of my computers, not virtualized).

 

If there were any activation-related problems with that update, they should appear in a vm too, i guess.

 

of course, because M$ looks into your VM as well

 

Yes I would guess that also.

I checked it on my sons laptop and all is good. It is running the same ver of Windows 8 as on my server.
No up date for me though. Only for IE 10. flash player.

flash player was updated earlier today. The big one came this evening (Europe) size about 160-170MB depending of architecture. You haven't received it as this is proof, that KMS is not de-activated by update?

 

Here are a lot of interesting threads about getting win 8 the way you can handle it.

 

Thanks! Pro activated

 

Still no update.

Ran activation on my sons laptop after update and everything is still good. So the update does not deactivate, does not effect KMS activation because it activated off my server.
So I guess all is good, but I would like to know what is in the that update and why I am not seeing it on my machine or on the server.

Simply go to Windows Update at the system property page and let it search. It takes quite a while now as the traffic is high. It'll find your updates as well as it does for the all of us.
