Testing the Key Management Server (KMS)

Finally took the time to do this for you guys. Sorry for the wait. Before it will start doing what you want it to, you need to meet certain thresholds, with Windows 7 clients it won’t work until it has had 25 requests from client machines. If you are making the requests from Windows 2008 Servers then the count is 5.

  • Is there a way to check see the list of devices activated using the KMS host…I can see the count want to see what devices were activated

  • 1st of all, it IS NOT KEY MANAGEMENT SERVER. IT IS key management service server. Or KMS server/host. Not very bright are you . If you are going to do a video, use the right nomenclature.

  • What happens when the vbs file is missing on all clients?

  • Does anyone know what the costs are for kms. I can't find this answer on google neither on the tech site from Microsoft and for an answer I need a business email account planning to make one but I am wondering how much?

  • A better format would be

    nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp.<FQDN>

    This includes your specific domain. Note the space betwee srv and _vlmcs….

  • Your command doesn't work because you forgot the space in between svr and _vlmcs.
    nslookup -type=srv _vlmcs._tcp
