KMS Activation Problem

[glennda]

I've got a whole load of machines (like 10) which have decided they don't like my KMS host - when trying to activate the clients I get

 

"0xC004F038

The software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. The count reported by your Key Management Service (KMS) is insufficient. Please contact your system administrator."

 

I've got 700 clients registered through it and they all work!

Chuck the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 2.0 tool onto the KMS server and add the machines into it and try to manually activate.

 

Also run the following command "slmgr.exe /dlv" to check the count level.

[glennda]

Done that its what reported the error in a readable format! The count is something like 2300 although I'm not sure why as we only have 900 machines - I guessed its when they updated after 6months

How strange, and yes you're right.

 

Can you activate any new machines at all?

 

What's the output of "slmgr.vbs -dli" ?

It appears to be machines trying to re-activate rather then new ones so I wondering whether its a client side issue rather then a Server side issue (not sure what though!)

Your network is set up wrong MUST BE DNS

It works for all 896 PCs and 4 don't work - so errr it's right

Have you tried a slmgr.vbs -rearm and slmgr.vbs -ato

 

 

I'm not sure where you found out you have 2300 activations... that seems, odd (unless VAMT tells you)

 

When you run dli, the highest value against "count" will only ever by 50. The rest is *everything* since you activated KMS.

When you open up VAMT you can check online to see how many activations IT RECKONS have being used of a product.

Did you check that you have unique UUIDs? I had a problem with that after I used WDS to reimege everything
