0x8007232B DNS Name does not exist Activating Windows Vista

I was trying to activate my volume license copy of Windows Vista Enterprise and received an error 0x8007232B DNS Name does not exist. I'm not sure what produces this error when activating Windows Vista. To fix the error 0x8007232B DNS Name does not exist I did not actually change any of my DNS settings because in all other respects my Windows Vista PC was working perfectly. I did use the change product key feature to re-insert my Windows Vista product key and then it would activate properly. To change the product key in Windows Vista I opened control panel. I clicked Classic View and double clicked the System icon. Then scrolling down there is a Windows Activation section with a change product key button. Simply re-enter your product key and allow Windows Vista to reactivate. This time you should not see 0x8007232B DNS Name does not exist as an activation error.
