Well I found something out in my hunt of getting my KMS set up. If I manually set the kms server in the client, slmgr -skms ip:1688 , then the client talks to the server. Still not sure why it just doesn't set it up automatically.

(To help this out we also converted many of our MAK licenses over with the VAMT while we were deploying our updated systems with KMS).

You might just want to wait until that can happen before you beat your brains out on this one.

Do I have to put in the KMS client license? If I could just walk down the hall and turn on 10 more machines I would be at 25, but they are waxing the floors so I am stuck.

After that it does it automatically, you don't setup a registration key or anything on the machine. You might try manually activating the machine to force it to try KMS. --Josh On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 10:32 AM, Daniel Zobel <[email protected]> wrote: I am now more confused than I was yesterday. My KMS server is active and working as far as I know. I found out I had to activate that system so that it would start working. So for those you have a KMS server do you have to do anything to the systems once you have 25 machines? I am looking at my even log on the kms server and I don't see anything with my imaged machines. I can see that the machines that I was making were trying to register, but there is nothing since I have imaged machines. I know that the machines should be talking a whole lot more for a kms server as they are suppose to try to register every 120 secs. if I do a slmgr -dli on the kms server it doesn't show any machines have been talking to it, as it should show unregistered machines too. So I am a little lost. I know the 25 hasn't been hit yet, latter today, but I should see a little bit of activity at least. Any help would be great.
