Server 2008 Activation DNS Error

Last night I was finishing up with the installation of 2 servers (PDC & BDC).  After completing all of the updates and configurations I needed to activate the product… DNS Error!  After doing a little searching I found the KB article from Microsoft (KB929826) which states that with volume licenses or multi-activation keys you may need to run this first at the command prompt:

slmgr –ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

[xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the product key]

Then you should have no problem activating.  Nice to know for the future!
