What are the URL and/or IP addresses of the MS Activation servers for Windows Servers?

Question

I need to configure the URL's and/or IP address for Windows activation in my UTM Firewall device as none of the internal servers have Internet access. We explicitly define what they are allowed to connect to.

Hi Darrell,

Thanks for your post. the following list of CRLs are to be unauthenticated on the proxy server:

• https://go.microsoft.com/
• http://go.microsoft.com/
• https://login.live.com
• https://activation.sls.microsoft.com/
• http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/MicProSecSerCA_2007-12-04.crl
• https://validation.sls.microsoft.com/
• https://activation-v2.sls.microsoft.com/
• https://validation-v2.sls.microsoft.com/
• https://displaycatalog.mp.microsoft.com/
• https://licensing.mp.microsoft.com/
• https://purchase.mp.microsoft.com/
• https://displaycatalog.md.mp.microsoft.com/
• https://licensing.md.mp.microsoft.com/
• https://purchase.md.mp.microsoft.com/

For information about how to use this method, see the documentation that is included with the proxy software. Note Microsoft cannot supply IP addresses or ranges of the servers listed above. The URL must be used. Reference: Windows activation or validation fails with error code 0x8004FE33 - Microsoft Support   Best Regards,

Ian Xue
