activation question on 2008.. what are most doing?

-

 at least in our test servers use msdn license.. if i'm understanding correctly in general.. activate, 1 has run special command or set kms server in environment handle activation..

is there reason not activate old style way.. ie:  issue command instead of designating special machine or 1 machine kms activation server?

thanks

hello mark,
by default media msdn windows server 2008 doesn't prompt product key, if enter msdn product key, should able activate used to.  default key used during setup of msdn media kms host machine, if change key msdn product key can activate old style way.
you can change key in activation wizard.
or elevated cmd prompt:
slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

thanks
