Rate Topic Display Mode Topic Options Author Message Karl Mitschke Posted 5/5/2008 10:25:02 AM We have a vista PC that is regestered in DNS as a KMS server (nslookup -q=SRV _VLMCS._TCP shows this PC) How can we have the person who is running this PC kill the KMS service so we can create a valid KMS on a Server 2003 or 2008 box? Thanks Karl Post #105144 From: Darrell Posted 5/5/2008 2:35:06 PM Hello Karl, Change the product key back to the generic volume key. The keys are listed per sku in the Planning Guide http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9893F83E-C8A5-4475- B025-66C6B38B46E3&displaylang=enfilelist Thanks, Darrell Gorter[MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights -------------------- | >Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 14:08:19 +0000 (UTC) | >Message-ID: | >From: Karl Mitschke | >Subject: Remove or KILL KMS server? | >MIME-Version: 1.0 | >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit | >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed | >X-Newsreader: JetBrains Omea Reader 1098.1 | >Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup | >NNTP-Posting-Host: 161.7.1.186 | >Lines: 1 | >Path: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP01.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl | >Xref: TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup:39405 | >X-Tomcat-NG: microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup | > | >We have a vista PC that is regestered in DNS as a KMS server (nslookup -q=SRV | >_VLMCS._TCP shows this PC) | > | >How can we have the person who is running this PC kill the KMS service so | >we can create a valid KMS on a Server 2003 or 2008 box? | > | >Thanks | > | >Karl | > | > Post #105332 Karl Mitschke Posted 5/5/2008 3:05:03 PM Hello Darrell Gorter[MSFT], Do you have a page number, or any other reference, cause I searced all through the planning document, as well as several others, and see nothing.

Karl filelist Post #105849 From: Darrell Posted 5/6/2008 12:55:06 PM Hello Karl, Yes those are the default installation keys, the media comes with those keys. Those keys are used by KMS client machines. During setup of Volume License Windows VIsta media those are the keys that are used to complete setup so you are not prompted for a key. Those keys will look for a KMS server to activate with. Which sku did you install? You need to use the key of the installed OS Windows Vista Enterprise N is the sku without Media Player.

To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. 2.To install the KMS key, at the command prompt type the following, and then press Enter: cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk YFKBB-PQJJV-G996G-VWGXY-2V3X8 3.Reboot the Vista PC This did not work. They recreated their SRV records. Karl filelist Post #111760 From: Darrell Posted 5/15/2008 2:45:02 PM Hello Karl, This should have only been done on the machine that was acting as the KMS host machine. Not the rest of the clients. So when you said you have your users change to this product key, which users did you have change to that key? The machines running as KMS clients or the machines running as KMS host machines?
