But the MVLS admin has to request the MAK keys... on mine the KMS were
default and I had to request MAK (like Brian said)

You need to go to Control Panel > System then at the bottom select
Change Product Key. This will allow you to enter your VL key which
will result in Vista activating via the web. Definitely not well
documented unfortunately.

*Subject:* [ActiveDir] OT: Vista Activation and KMS
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?
