HI no17, is this for setting up a KMS client or KMS host? I am trying to setup a KMS host server. From what I read you should not need to specify a computer name and port number becuase I have already set this up in AD? Thanks Taggs

I have a mixure of SQL servers in my estate. SQL 2k5 on Win 2k3 SQL 2k5 on Win 2k8 SQL 2k5 on Win 2k8(shared Cluster server) SQL 2k8 on Win 2k8(shared Cluster server) I have set the memory allocation (max and min) for SQL server on each installation. When I looked at the memory allocation in Task manager on my SQL 2k5 on Win 2k3 and SQL 2k5 on Win 2k8 it shows the SQL service as using the allocated memory. When I look at the other SQL installs it shows as not using the allocated memeory. I started to do a little investigation and reading posts on the web people seem to think this is buffer memory allocation and does not show in task manager. I am quite willing to believe this but why do some of my servers show SQL is using the memeory (in task manager) and some show it is not? I can't see a corolation in SQL versions or OS versions! I do have PLIM set on my cluster but after looking into this I don't believe this has anything to do with it. Thanks Taggs

Hi, I am wondering if some one could help me please or at least point me in the right direction for KMS hosting. I'm "trying" to setup 2 KMS servers for my organisation. 100+ server 5000+ PC's I've setup the AD groups (for cross domain licening) I've configured DNS with the SRV records (plus permissions) I've then run the following commands slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx slmgr.vbs /ato SLMgr.vbs /SPrt XXXX (where xxxx is our new port number) I have also downloaded and setup KMS for Office 2010 (which seems to be working) My problem being if I try to install our KMS key from MS I get the following errors "The Software Licensing Service reported that the license is not installed" for my Windows Server 2008 Std/Ent KMS B key and "The software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid" for my Win 7 - KMS key (I've checked,checked and checked again and this is the correct key!) After trying all my keys the only one I have managed to get on (besides offce 2010) is Win Srv 2008 R2 Data Ctr/Itan KMS C This is driving me crazy as it should be so simple (or maybe it's just I'm so thick) My server is Win 2008 R2 and I have registered it with MS.
