KMS Setup - key activation problems

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am wondering if some one could help me please or at least point me in the right direction for KMS hosting.

I'm "trying" to setup 2 KMS servers for my organisation. 100+ server 5000+ PC's

I've setup the AD groups (for cross domain licening)

I've configured DNS with the SRV records (plus permissions)

I've then run the following commands

slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

slmgr.vbs /ato

SLMgr.vbs /SPrt XXXX (where xxxx is our new port number)

I have also downloaded and setup KMS for Office 2010 (which seems to be working)

My problem being if I try to install our KMS key from MS I get the following errors

"The Software Licensing Service reported that the license is not installed" for my Windows Server 2008 Std/Ent KMS B key

and

"The software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid" for my Win 7 - KMS key (I've checked,checked and checked again and this is the correct key!)

After trying all my keys the only one I have managed to get on (besides offce 2010) is Win Srv 2008 R2 Data Ctr/Itan KMS C

This is driving me crazy as it should be so simple (or maybe it's just I'm so thick)

My server is Win 2008 R2 and I have registered it with MS.

Thanks

as u said u r using your own kms host i think u forgot to run

slmgr.vbs /skms

"Set the name and/or the port for the KMS computer this machine will use. IPv6 address must be specified in the format"

after executing this cmd then try slmgr.vbs /ato

HI no17,

is this for setting up a KMS client or KMS host? I am trying to setup a KMS host server. From what I read you should not need to specify a computer name and port number becuase I have already set this up in AD?

Thanks
