KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hi,

We have KMS 1.1 service installed on windows 2003 server.
Our KMS key (group B) activated on this server.
We successfully activated 6 windows 2008 servers vs. our KMS server.
Currently we have only 4 Vista Business computers and they don't want to do
activation. Error message:
"Error: 0xC004F038 The computer could not be activated. The returned count
from
your Key Management Service is insufficient."

1) After reading different articles about KMS activation - if I understand
correctly - I thought Vista machines will do activation if we
have at least 5 windows 2008 servers OR 25 Vista machines. Apparently,
even with 5 windows 2008 servers we need at least 25
Vista computes in order to start Vista activation ?

2) Can I see from KMS server which windows 2008/Vista computers counted as
activated ?
I don't find such option in slmgr script.

Thanks,
Igor

Thanks, but I am looking for the way to list all activated computers (with
computer names) on KMS server and -dlv/-dli swicth don't display such
information

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hello Igor,

Here is again a more detailed descriptions of the counting that corrects
my first answer:

KMS volume activation requires a minimum number of physical Windows clients:
five (5) for Windows Server 2008, or twenty five(25) for Windows Vista. However,
KMS does not differentiate between the two systems when counting the total
number of clients. For example, a KMS host with a count of three (3) Windows
Vista clients and two (2) Windows Server 2008 clients would activate the
two (2) Windows Server 2008 clients because the cumulative count is five
(5) clients. But KMS would not activate the three (3) Windows Vista computers
until the total client count reached twenty-five (25).

Download the VAMT from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...D8-1B2C-4DA4-A530-80F26F0F9A99&displaylang=en

The Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) enables network administrators
and other IT professionals to automate and centrally manage the Microsoft
Windows® volume activation process. The VAMT can manage volume activation
using Multiple Activation Keys (MAKs) or the Windows Key Management Service
(KMS). You can install this tool as a stand-alone application on any computer
that has one of the following Windows operating systems: Windows® XP, Windows
Server® 2003, Windows Vista®, or Windows Server® 2008.

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Meinolf , thanks for the answer,
but my second question is still open - AFAIK VAMT works only with MAK and
not KMS.

Hello Igor,

From the VAMT Help:
The VAMT can manage volume activation using Multiple Activation Keys (MAKs)
or the Windows Key Management Service (KMS).

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hello Igor,
There is a KMS event log on the KMS host machine that can be parsed to
locate the client requests:

There is also a MOM pack for this:

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hello Darrell Gorter[MSFT],

Just to get a clear answer, will VAMT show also the KMS as described in the
help file?

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Meinolf and Darell, many thanks,

I have installed VAMT and I really see KMS clients status.

The only problem now that in VAMT I see 6 licensed windows 2008 KMS
clients, but slmgr script give me count number "5" and I still don't
understand why.

Thanks, Igor

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hello Igor,
Check each of the 6 clients to make sure they are all pointing to the same
KMS host machine.
Check the KMS Host's machine event log for the KMS event logging.
Verify that all 6 machines contacted that KMS Host machine.
Are all 6 physical machines?
Are any of them virtual?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hi Darrel,

All machines are physical, all contacted to same KMS server (actually we
have only one KMS server)
Also, we have 4 Vista mashines and I see them contacted to KMS host too (in
KMS event log ), so generally speaking I expect to see counter "10" ...

Thanks, Igor

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Hello Igor,
Do you see all the records in the KMS event log from each machine?
Export that list, check the CMID's and make sure they are all different.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Darrel, many thanks !
Now I found the problem - some computers have same CMID (we use imaging
software)
Now question - how I can change CMID without reinstalling windows 2008 ?
I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929829 , but I hope probably windows
2008 have something different ?

Thanks, Igor

Re: KMS count for windows 2008 / Vista

Darrel,
so, if I have windows 2008 installed without sysprep - the only option is
to reinstall them ?
Meantime I run slmgr.vbs –rearm and it changes CMID and KMS count increased,
but probably I will meet new problems ?

Thanks, Igor
