X240 - Windows 7 - Activation issue

Hi, I have a X240 think pad laptop, it came with Windows 7 x64 installed as standard, with upgrade disks to Windows 8 (even though no disk drive). Anyway, Windows update killed the laptop, so I had to wipe the C Drive and re-install windows 7.
However now I cannot activate this version of windows. I just keep getting the DNS error when trying to activate. I was under the impression that this version was an OEM version and would auto activate.
I still have the Lenovo recovery D:\ Drive but don't know how to pull the Activation key from it. I have used a key finder but the key it gave me again didn't work when trying to activate. What can I do please?

Hi,
and welcome to the community.
Perhaps the OS reduction you have installed isn't the same as was preloaded. OEM isn't enough.
You can't use yourself the OEM reduction activation key as a set of symbols for manual activation, you can backup it using 3rd party tools. Activation key is stored in BIOS SLIC, it's inaccessible for the user.
If you have Lenovo preloaded image recovery media or its .wim archives on your drive you could perform laptop recovery to the factory state. The steps depends of what you have, your skills etc.

X240 - Windows 8 Activation

Hi,
Just received my x240 - everything is working as expected. However, I keep getting a notification to activate my windows?
It came preloaded with windows 8 and is currently activated - but states that it will expire in November. Whenever I try and activate it I receive this..
Searched the forums before, Did a clean boot and updated everything but still occurs.
Any ideas?
Jeremy

Windows Server Activation Issue

Hi all,
Can any one please help me in resolving an issue with Windows Server 2012 License Activation using KMS. While executing the command slmgr /dlv or any other parameter I am receiving an Error 0xC0000022. After checking the event log I saw the Software Protection
Service is getting Failed with an Error 0x80070005. I also tried running SFC Scan (sfc /scannow) and also found the error "Windows Resource Protection Corrupt File but was unable to Fix the same". There are some critical Services and Application
running on the Server.
Can anyone please suggest me some solution for this issue.Below in the Output for the CBS log.

Thanks,

Windows 8 Activation Issue

I've had my laptop for about a year now and for some reason it now keeps nagging "Activate Windows, Go to PC settings to activate Windows". When I do that there's two optoions: Activate Windows which tells me that Windows can't be activated right now after pressing that button? The second choice is to enter a "new" Windows key?? I put in the key that came with the laptop but it tells me it's not valid? What the hell?

as the cd key is installed in the bios most of the time now you will need some programs to read them
http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-recover-windows-88-1-product-key-from-bios/
i have used the program and it reads the cd off my yoga 2 fine

Windows 7 - Continuous redeployment time/activation issues

Hello,
I have about 9 classrooms that have from 10 to 25 computers in each along with 30 laptops for offsite use in which the software installed on them changes almost daily depending on what class is being taught. Currently we have been using Comodo Time Machine
on the laptops and previously on the desktops although we are using windows deployment server on the desktops now. My issue is that every time we reimage the systems we are running into activation issues. This system was put into place before I got here and
am trying to find the right direction to head into. It looks like the current windows deployment images sysprepped so that is why they are coming overdue right out of the gate. We do have licensing through the Microsoft Partner Network although im awaiting
access. Staying in the trial zone of the install is what they have been trying to do although the image was not properly configured and is out of date once its put on the system and the black screen comes up. Comodo is quick but lacks the ability to stay current
and only allows for a set amount of images due to space and can lack uniformity. A fast re-image speed would be beneficial but the speed of the deployment server has been working since I start it the day before for the next class. To me it seems like I should
fix the image on the deployment server and see where that takes me. Does anyone have any experience of this type of setup or know any other options?

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you want to auto activate the Windows during the deployment, right?
If yes, What's the type of your license?
If you have KMS server, you don't need do any thing.
If you have MAK license, you cannot set input the key in answer file to activate.
In addition, what the deployment tool did you use?

Windows Process Activation (WAS) Issue

Good Afternoon All,
I'm very new to UPK and am learning through the documentations. I have a server (windows 2003 R2 SP2). I want to install server component of the UPK on it and Client on my local machine (is that a right thing). Secondly when i tried to install (Server or Server and Client) on the Windows 2003 machine i'm getting the following error "Setup cannot determine if windows process activation service (WAS) and world wide web publishing are installed on the computer. Confirm that windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed and running on the computer". Can anyone please help me?
Thanks

Hello thinkingeye,
The most likely reason you are experiencing this issue is because Windows Server 2003 is no longer supported by our latest version of UPK (it is also no longer supported by Microsoft).
Please see the technical requirements for our latest version of UPK, 12.1:

Windows 8 - Activation Error: 0xC004F074 and 4 things that do not fix it

OK, bought a used laptop with dual boot Win7x64 / Win8Prox64 in Feb. 2013. Windows 8 booted up and ran just fine for the first six months. I don't
know if it had anything to do with it, but I installed Office 13 in the Windows 8 partition not long ago, and it seems that after that Windows 8 kept issuing pleas to "activate windows" (but no complaints from Office 13, which is a HUP installation
from my work). On the bottom right side of the screen it now says Windows Pro 8 Build 9200, and on top of that is the light gray plea to (re) activate Windows. There have been no hardware changes to the laptop.
Finally got annoyed enough this weekend to try to resolve it, without success. Here are the four methods I tried, and the results:
Attempt 1:
go to Control Panel > search Windows Activation > choose Windows Activation
Response:
Windows isn’t activated
Windows can’t be activated right now. Try activating Windows later. If this issue persists, contact your system administrator or technical support department for assistance.
[Activate button]
Activation details
Error Code:
0xC004F074
The Software Licensing Service reported that the product could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.
Pressing the [Activate] button gets you the same response over and over.
Attempt 2:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) slmgr.vbs –ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where
this is the 25 character key for Windows 8 Pro)
Response:
Installed product key XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX successfully.
Next -
CMD (run as administrator) slmgr.vbs –ato
Response:
Activating Windows(R), Professional edition
Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information.
Attempt 3:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) SLUI 3
Response:
Enter a product key to activate Windows
(enter product key)
Your product key works! Continue when you’re ready
press [Activate]
Get same 0xC004F074 error code
Attempt 4:
Open the command window as an administrator -
CMD (run as administrator) SLUI 4
Response:
Find available phone numbers for activation
Click the nearest location:
Afghanistan
[Afghanistan is greyed out and you cannot select any other country]
Click on Next, and get a non-toll free number in Afghanistan to call.
Attempt 5:
CMD (run as admistrator) sfc /scannow
No errors reported.
PLEASE Tell Me WHAT CAN I DO KNOW.
IT always shutdown automatically sometimes after that.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP
thanks,

Hi,
It sounds like your computer is trying to access a KMS server for some reason. Are you sure you installed a MAK-key on your computer?
For further troubleshooting regarding eventual KMS-issues, please give us (masked of course) the output from the command 'SLMGR.vbs /dlv'

Cannot install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool on Server 2012 w/ SQL Server 2012

I went to change a user password on the server today and after changing the password I logged into the SQL server to run “Import-module dirsync” & “Start-onlinecoexistencesync” in powershell in order to sync the new password with Exchange Online. After
waiting ten minutes I tried setting up the email on the user’s PC but the new password was not being accepted. I logged into Office 365 and I got the following warning.
"Warning: Last synced more than 3 days ago | Troubleshoot"
So I pressed troubleshoot and the site installed a tool on the server to try and find out what the issue was. After the tool ran it told me that the version of dirsync.exe was out of date and that I should download the new one and install it. So I downloaded
the new dirsync.exe (version 7020 I believe) and tried installing it. I kept getting error after error, different ones to boot.
First it told me I wasn’t part of the FIMSyncAdmins group (so I added myself), then it told me that it could not connect to MIIS server, so I tried starting it and windows said that there was a problem with the sign on used by the service so I had
to reset the password for the local user named “AAD_bfd1d6f0cef7” which was being used by that service. The service started successfully and when I went to install it told me I could not and if the problem persisted I should uninstall the old version and reinstall.
Looking in the log file, before I even install the software I see the following Information...
Level: Information
Date: 2015-03-24 12:49:17 PM
Source: Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
"The current configuration of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool is invalid. Please reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool."
So I tried to reinstall (i even manually uninstalled the old version and removed the folder in C:\Program Files\ called "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync") and on reinstall I get as far as "Installing Components" and then after a little
while it errors out with the error "The install was unable to setup a required component. Check the event logs for more information. Please try the installation again and if the error persists, contact Technical Support. "
Looking at the log file there are a bunch of new entries, created by the installer. There's over 300 new entries and I can not post them all here due to character count restriction. you can find the log file here...
www.clarkfreightways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dirsync_log.txt
Can anyone tell me what is going on, I've been looking through the log files and I can see errors but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Greetings!
Wanted to know if you've hosted the DirSync tool (latest version) on a VM? Also, if this is deployed in a Production or Lab environment? If it's a lab setup, you may
try installing the DirSync on a new VM / Server (suspecting that it could be some machine related issues).
Here's a Support KB helping with different errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2684395
If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
Technical Support Ticket for assisting further with break-fix.
Thank you,

Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Setup

Hi,
Currently trying to install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool for use with Office 365.
After five attempts to install the Sync Tool, I finally had some luck, now I am configuring the Sync tool and have been given the following error "A constraint violation occurred"
In looking at the event logs this is the information I get:
System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: A constraint violation occurred. ---> System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException: A constraint violation occurred. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges() at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Common.DirectoryServicesAdapter.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges()

Suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you have installed Azure Active Directory Sync tool successfully, right? What configuration have you done when you got that error message?
Firstly, I recommend you to check the event logs for more detailed information about this issue.
In general, it is recommended to install the Directory Sync tool on a member server rather than a Domain Controller. If you installed Azure Active Directory Sync Tool on a Domain Controller, please uncheck “Start Configuration Wizard now”
checkbox and then log off and log in again to configure the Azure Active Directory Sync Tool Configuration Wizard. If you forget to follow the above process, the Configuration Wizard will return an error "Constraint Violation Error".
Besides, please also check the permission of the system account. You can add it into the built-in Administrators group in your on-premise domain to see if the issue persists.

CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
Then finally:
"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
What could be the issue?
-Phil

I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

Exchange 2013 CU 1 - Windows process activation errors

Hi,
after upgrading to Exchange 2013 CU1, I get the following errors in the eventlog for all Exchange Application pools. These errors show up every 5 to 10 minutes:
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangeECPAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '8068'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangeOWAAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '8248'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MSExchangePowerShellFrontEndAppPool' terminated unexpectedly. The process id was '8652'. The process exit code was '0xffffffff'.
Exchange 2013 CU1 is running on Windows 2012.
Franc.

Hi,
It is a IIS error. Please check the Windows Process Activation service in the Exchange server. Make sure the service is started.
Please have a try to restart the server then change the issue again.

Unable to turn on windows process activation service thus IIS (CBS files uploaded in sky drive)

Hi,
I am trying to turn on/install IIS for local host and for that it require WAS to be installed and running. When try to turn on the feature of WAS i get the error "Error Occured. Not all the features were successfully changed." I had applied all
the patches that I could find on the net and tried cleaning and re installing the .NET. None of them worked. Please help me out as I am in critical situation and need to develop something in really quick time.
I had uploaded the files at "C:\Windows\logs\CBS" to my sky drive.
Please provide the solution for the same as I can not format my system at this point of time.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,

Hi,
There are two tools that can be used to fix this issue quickly:
System Update Readiness Tool
MSConfig.exe
As for your situation, I suggest MSConfig.exe.
When you install IIS then installer adds WPAS for you automatically as one of the dependencies.
BUT when you uninstall IIS WPAS does not get uninstalled automatically – leaving the core binaries intact (this is done for a reason and is not a BUG.
In short, it’s not uninstalled to make sure we don’t end up breaking other services on the box that consume this process model explicitly – like WCF service).
One has to make sure WPAS is explicitly uninstalled by going to features under server manager and choosing “Windows Process Activation Services” to uninstall.
The detail can be found at:
http://www.iis.net/learn/troubleshoot/installation-issues/troubleshooting-iis-7x-installation-issues
Meanwhile, you’d better post the OneDrive link where you post the CBS file.

Hi Ivy,
Thank you for the reply.
Now I suggest trying below:
1.
Back up applicationHost.config to a safe place. It is recommend to copy all folder and files under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\backup to the safe place too.
Remove the IIS from the server.
2.
From Control Panel\Programs and Features, in the Tasks panel, choose Turn Windows features on or off.
3.
Uncheck all of IIS.
4.
Uncheck Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), down further in the list of features.
5.
The only way to truly completely remove IIS and all the config settings is to uninstall WAS as well.
6.
After you have done the above, reboot the server.
7.
Reinstall IIS7 on the server.
8.
Then when the server comes back up go ahead and add back the IIS components, you will not have to recheck Windows Process Activation Service, it will automatically
get added when you reinstall IIS.
9.
Once IIS is completely reinstalled attempt to browse the default website and test Application Pool Custom Identity.
10.
Open the applicationHost.config file under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
11.
Copy the <configProtectedData><providers>... </providers></configProtectedData> session and paste it into old applicationHost.config(step
one).
12.
Backup current applicationHost.config file:
a)
Click on Start, go to Programs -> Accessories-> Command Prompt, right click on
“Run as administrator “
b)
Go to the IIS7 directory. This is located in the %WINDIR%\System32\InetSrv directory by default. The configuration files are stored in the InetSrv\Config directory.
Backup the applicationHost.config file by creating a backup object with the aid of the APPCMD command-line tool.
cd /d %windir%\system32\inetsrv
appcmd add backup NewConfigBackup
13.
Copy the old applicationHost.config(step 1 and 8) to replace the new applicationHost.config under the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config
14.
Reset IIS (iisreset ) in Command Prompt with Run as Administrator.
Then please test the result.
If the issue persists, as this issue could be closely related to IIS, I suggest further discussing it in our IIS fourm:
