Windows 8 Activation Error: DNS name does not exist Error Code: 0x8007232B

12 de Setembro de 2012 – 16:15

Depending on where the installation media was obtained from (MSDN, TechNet subscription download,..) the activation wizard  by default will look for a Key Management Service (KMS) host on your internal network. It will not try to activate using the internet to reach Microsoft Activation servers.

The solution is to manually change the product key to a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) most likely provided with your MSDN or TechNet subscription.

To change the product key, use the slmgr.vbs script included with your Windows installation.

  1. Run the command prompt as an administrator
  2. Enter slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is your product key.

Windows 8 RTM System Requirements

7 de Setembro de 2012 – 15:38

Today August 15th, 2012, Microsoft releases the RTM version of Windows 8 for MSDN and TechNet subscribers along with an evaluation version of Windows 8 Enterprise to early adopters and developers; if you want to give a try and not sure about minimum system requirements then this blog post helps you to determine whether your existing PC is capable to install it or not.

Microsoft has kept its promise that Windows 8 won’t require any more hardware than Windows 7. Grant George, Corporate VC of Windows Test repeats on Bulding Windows 8 blog what Microsoft has said in the past. So Windows 8 RTM works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7:

  • 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
  • Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch
Got all… Then you can download the Windows 8 RTM and experience first-hand the beautiful, fast and fluid experience.

ASP.NET 4.0 potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected

6 de Julho de 2012 – 14:39

This was because .NET detected something in the entered text which looked like an HTML statement.
This is a feature put in place to protect your application cross site scripting attack and followed accordingly.

To disable request validation, I added the following to the existing “page” directive in that .aspx file.

ValidateRequest=&quot;false&quot;

For .NET 4, we need to add requestValidationMode=”2.0″ to the httpRuntime configuration section of the web.config file like the following:

&lt;httpRuntime requestValidationMode=&quot;2.0&quot;/&gt;

But if there is no httpRuntime section in the web.config file, then this goes inside the <system.web> section.

If anyone wants to turn off request validation for globally user, the following line in the web.config file within <system.web> section:

&lt;pages validateRequest=&quot;false&quot; /&gt;
