We haven't started testing Windows 7 here yet, but I setup the KMS infrastructure for our 2008 serves, so here is a guess. What Product Group KMS key did you install (A, B, or C)? My guess is that there will be a new KMS key that includes Windows 7 coming out soon, if one is not already available. Do you have a TAM? He/she should be able to answer this question for you very quickly.

Here's my scenario: My company is a MS Gold Partner and our folks who manage that account logged in, downloaded the RC builds which for us included Enterprise Edition, which is the version I'm currently running. I've been through the public Windows 7 RC process which appears to work differently - where you register with MS, get an ISO and a key that unlocks Ultimate edition and allows online activation. My current Enteprise Edition RC is trying to activate online and failing. I figured I would need to point it to a KMS server; hence the question. Is anyone else running into this scenario?
