I installed win7 (evaluation copy. build 7100) with network installing from our SQLIT(Viva Beijing, China). when I try to activate it, I got the following error:
Code:

Hi,
I am afraid you need to contact your system administrator.
Error code 0xC004F035
Symptom
When you try to use a KMS client or a KMS host to activate one or more computers, you may receive the following error message:
0xC004F035
The software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated with a Volume license product key. Volume licensed systems require upgrading from a qualified operating system. Please contact your system administrator or use a different type of key.Cause
This issue may occur because volume editions are licensed for upgrade only. Installation of a volume operating system on a computer that does not have a qualifying operating system installed is not supported.
Workaround
To work around this issue, install a qualifying version of a Microsoft operating system, and then reinstall the volume operating system.
For more information, please refer to KB938450
Hope it helps.
