| This post will show you how to create an Adobe Acrobat Reader MSI Package to deploy using a software deployment tool like LANDesk, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, Altiris or a similar tool.

| Some of my hostings are hosted on cyon.ch, a Swiss hosting provider. Whenever i do a redesign of a page, often the content and the associated URL’s change. So when a user comes from Google, bing, yahoo or another search engine, they often face a HTTP 404 error code – not found. |  |

| Okay, thank you Microsoft, thank you for the good idea of a central KMS what-ever-kill-me-service to activate Windows 7 and Office 2010 in an Enterprise. Well, things could be easy, but obviously not a KMS Server done by Microsoft .. However, this is my collected information (Installation, configuration, error handling, testing, etc) about Microsoft Key Management Service (KMS).. and the tale isn’t over, believe me!
