TechNet copy of Vista sometimes says Windows is not genuine

My TechNet copy of Windows Vista has a problem that sometimes, but not
always, comes up. Sometimes, I get a message saying my copy of Windows
isn't genuine, but it is. When prompted I try the genuine advantage plug-in
and both IE and FireFox. They fail both times. Even after a restart,
validation fails.

The strange thing is that when the message appears, and I try to download
the WGA plug-in for FireFox, it says my Documents folder is not accessible.
But, when I manually browse there, the folder IS accessible.

I do not recall asking for this copy of Vista to be activated, but I could
be wrong.

So, how do I convince my Vista that I am genuine?

Thanks,
