error 0xC004F074


Problem:
Unable to activate windows 7 which was upgraded from Vista SP1 or even a clean
install. When trying to activate via KMS receive an error 0xC004F074.

How to Resolve:
This Error 0xC004F074 stands for The Software licensing service Reported that the computer could not be activated. The key management service (KMS) is unavailable.

This is a DNS issue that the necessary KMS server was not auto discovered in the particular DOMAIN

The workaround is to set the KMS server explicitly using "slmgr /skms re-vl-vm".

/skms specifies the name of a KMS host. this disables auto-discovery.

In my example, this instructs the client to use re-vl-vm as a KMS host.
Note that there is a typo. The KMS host for W7 in Corpnet is "red-vl-vm"

Note: use this only when a client machine is not receiving the KMS SRV records from DNS.

Using Jump Lists to open programs and items

Jump Lists are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program that you use to open them. You can use a Jump List to open items, and you can also pin favorites to a Jump List, so you can quickly get to the items that you use every day.

Managing programs and items with Jump Lists

On the taskbar, Jump Lists appear for programs that you've pinned to the taskbar and programs that are currently running. On the Start menu, Jump Lists appear for programs that you've pinned to the Start menu and programs that you've opened recently. (Jump Lists don't appear in All Programs on the Start menu.)
Jump Lists can include recently opened items, frequently opened items, tasks, or websites, in addition to any items that you've pinned.
You'll always see the same items in the Jump List for a program, regardless of whether you view the list on the Start menu or the taskbar. For example, if you pin an item to a program’s Jump List on the taskbar, the item also appears in that program's Jump List on the Start menu.
Notes

Notes

  • In addition to any pinned or currently open items, Jump Lists on the taskbar contain several commands that you can use to close an item or unpin the program from the taskbar.
  • You can drag an item from a Jump List to copy it to another location. For example, you can drag a document from a Jump List to an e‑mail message if you want to send it to someone.

Working with Jump Lists on the Start menu

Jump Lists on the Start menu give you quick access to the things you use most often.
