Windows 10: Windows 2019 Server Host file Entry

Am trying to modify the hosts file with cmd having administrator rights retruns non-zero errorlevel in Windows 2019.

Server 2019 KMS Host and VAMT doesn't like Server 2019 KMS Keys

Seen on those too!

None of the 2019 Keys listed work in VAMT, this is my problem! So Server 2019 Client OS cannot activate against the new KMS Host.





The first one in this list is Windows 10 2015 LTSC.

Clearly there is a massive bug in VAMT because I've tried earlier versions with the same problem.

2019 GVLKs just don't work. Is there another way I can add GVLKs to the KMS Host?

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Editing the hosts file in Windows 7

I recently just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition and I need to edit the hosts file located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\. I've done this before on XP and Vista Ultimate 64-bit by opening the hosts file with Notepad. Only this time, when I opened it up with Notepad on Windows 7, it looked like this:

Code: # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost[/quote] Where as on XP and Vista, it would look like this:
