I have installed Server 2008 that I obtained through MSDNAA through my school. I am not able to get it activated, when I try to activate I first got a message that the SRV DNS record was missing, and now I get an error that the KMS service is disabled (and the software license services are running). When I try to activate over the phone after disconnecting my server from the internet, the "Other activation options" is unclickable. I have no idea how to fix this and would appreciate any help.

Hi Tyler, If you would like to activate the computer via KMS, I suggest contacting your local Microsoft Volume Licensing Activation Center for direct help: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx You may also contact your school network administrator to resolve this issue.
