A Networker's Log File: Migrating KMS Host for Windows Activation

A Networker's Log File: Migrating KMS Host for Windows Activation: "


Two types of activation for Microsoft OS, MAK (Multiple Activation Key) and KMS (Key Management Service). The former activation is mainly used for less than 5 servers. If you use KMS, the first four hosts won't be activated until the fifth is activated. Earlier, we did a mistake of keying in the KMS host license key into some of our servers instead of the KMS client keys. As a result, multiple SRV of _VLMCS._tcp. appears on the DNS servers. Furthermore, the current KMS server is not supposed to have Internet access. Hence, we decided to migrate the KMS to another VM.
