Nope, I've done it web based. At the present time there are two kinds
of keycodes up on MVLS.. one that wants a KMS, the other that will phone
home to Redmond automatically.
Have your MVLS folks request the other type of key is my understanding
how this will work for now. The KMS type won't be out until Longhorn.
KMS activations will have to phone home to your servers twice a year.

I was testing out the RTM of Vista Enterprise last night and noticed I
didn't have to enter a key at any point during the install. When
Windows tried to activate, it told me there was a DNS error, so I
suspected it looks for a local activation server by default. Sure
enough, in the DNS cache was a lookup for a nonexistent
_vlmcs._tcp.domain.com. Upon further research, it appears Microsoft
has not released KMS yet, and I couldn't find any option to activate
directly with Microsoft. For the moment, is telephone activation the
only option?
