Overview
Volume Activation 2.0 is a collection of technology and process changes that enables enterprises to address the required activation for all editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server “Longhorn” in their environment. Deploying Windows Vista using Volume Activation 2.0 in highly connected environments is normally a straightforward process requiring minimal planning and implementation. However, there are some planning considerations for deploying of Windows in isolated or secure environments.
For the purpose of this document isolated/secure environments range from environments that block client access to the internet or certain internet sites to highly secure installations where data flow into or out of the installation is completely restricted, there is a “air gap” between the environment and the internet.
This whitepaper is targeted at decision makers and infrastructure architects who are planning a deployment of Windows Vista or Windows “Longhorn” Server that have specialized network isolation requirements. This whitepaper assumes that the reader is already familiar with Volume Activation 2.0 collaterals available from Microsoft.
