Windows SPP: how to get into RFM without really trying

In response to The Skinny on Windows SPP and Reduced Functionality in Vista:

You failed to mention a scenario in which a device will go into RFM.  Recently Microsoft WGA servers experienced an interruption in service causing at least two systems at our organization to incorrectly go into RFM.

The issue was apparently caused by a failed verification server at Microsoft.  Additional information about the incident can be found at  What comes first, the customer or public image?
