- Do you have a Windows 7 activation key installed and activated on the KMS server?No, I just used the 2008 KMS key. I thought I read where that is all you needed and that you didn't need to install the Win7 KMS key on the host. That 2008 would activate both server and win7 clients. Is this wrong information?
No, a Server 2008 R2 KMS key should do. A Server 2008 KMS key, however, won't. That key must be installed and activated on the KMS server. The clients just need the appropriate product key as documented on the "Deploying KMS Activation" page I mentioned earlier. [...]
As far as the Win7 clients go. I've tried using the KMS client set up key FJ82H-XT6CR-J8D7P-XQJJ2-GPDD4 from the internet per the guidline instructions. Is this not the way you are supposed to do it?
That should be fine, provided the clients are running Win7 Professional.
I'm showing 600 clients are requesting activation when I use "slmgr -dli"
Since I cannot see from here what output the command produces there, could you please just post the output? Thank you. Specificall the output of the following commands is of interest: "slmgr /dlv" on the KMS server "slmgr /dli" on a client Use "cscript %SystemRoot%\system32\slmgr.vbs" instead of just "slmgr" for easier copy/pasting. Can you force activation of a client by running "slmgr /ato" on it?
