have installed update after installing kms?
an update available installs key management service (kms) 1.2 windows server 2003 service pack 2 (sp2) , later versions of windows server 2003

and have rebooted after installation, should procedure install kms.


  1. use kmsw2k3 file install kms 1.0 windows server 2003 , later, if not installed.
    download kms w2k3 version 1.1 windows server 2003 x86
    download kms w2k3 version 1.1 windows server 2003 x64
  2. restart after install ((necessary)
  3. run kb968915 update file.
    download update version 1.2 windows server 2003 x86
    download update version 1.2 windows server 2003 x64 
  4. restart after applying update (necessary)
  5. next stepts:
  • install , activate appropriate kms key volume licensing service center
  • make sure firewall computer configured correctly enable incoming communication kms host computer through tcp port 1688.
  • make sure kms host computer published dns service location (srv) resource records enable automatic discovery kms client computers.

 

can confirm have done this, described above?
