Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?


Recommended Posts

Guest John Whites
Posted

I downloaded the KMS for server 2003 to activate vista clients and

setup/activated.

 

I think I remember reading somewhere that this one can not activate server

2008 clients.

 

Is there going to be a new download of the KMS server for windows 2003 to

activate both vista and server 2008 clients?

 

I have my KMS key for server 2008, will i just activate it the same way I

did the other one?

 

If there is a new versions will it require me to reactivate the vista key I

already used?

Hello John,

Yes there will be an update for the KMS for Windows Server 2003 download

that will enable you to activate Windows Server 2008 machines as well as

Windows Vista machines. It should be released shortly.

Sorry don't have an exact date.

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

RE: Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?

 

I have installed the update "Key Management Service 1.1 (x86) for Windows

Server 2003 SP1 and Later" and it does not seem not to be working. I

completely uninstalled the service and installed again, but I get the same

error 0xC004F042. Please help me.

Thanks for your response.

RE: Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?

 

Hello Jiri,

When do you get the error message?

What are you OS are you installing KMS 1.1 on? What service pack level?

Are inserting the key?

Are activating?

Are clients failing to activate?

Is it failing during installation?

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

RE: Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?

 

The error message is displayed when I run the command "slmgr.vbs -ato" from

the Windows Server 2008 machine. (KMS host is set - "slmgr.vbs -skms

kmsserver" and is accessible.)

-----------------

Activating Windows Server®, ServerStandard edition

(ad2542d4-9154-4c6d-8a44-30

f11ee96989) ...

Run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F042' to display the error text.

Error: 0xC004F042

------------------

 

KMS host runs on Windows Server 2003 x86 with integrated SP2, english

version. KMS 1.0 was running here and activating KMS clients without

problems. When I tried to activate Windows Server 2008 Standard (installation

source from Volume Licensing, so no product key was requested), the error was

0xC004F042, so I successfully installed update to version 1.1. But the next

attempt to activate Windows Server 2008 was with the same error.

Vista activations are successful, only attempts to activate Windows Server

2008 ("slmgr.vbs -ato" after setting the KMS host by -skms parameter) are

unsuccessful.

Installations are OK.

 

Event log shows many information messages (around 25) with eventID 1033,

source Software Licensing Service after starting this service:

--------------------

These policies are being excluded since they are only defined with

override-only attribute.

And information messages EventID 1003 (25 messages too), source Software

Licensing Service in rotation with EventID1033 above:

-----------------------

The Software Licensing service has completed licensing status check.

Thanks for your time and response.

RE: Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?

 

Hello Jiri,

Did you install a Windows Server 2008 Volume KMS Host key in KMS 1.1?

 

Run slmgr -dli

What is displayed on the description line?

should be something like VOLUME_KMS_S2 or VOLUME_KMS_S3

If it's just VOLUME_KMS , your Key only activates Windows VIsta clients.

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

RE: Windows Server 2003 KMS for Server 2008?

 

Hello Darrell,

now I understand. "slmgr -dli" displays just VOLUME_KMS description. I

checked the KMS host key on the Microsoft Volume Licensing web site and the

description is "Windows Vista - KMS". Our company has the agreement with

Software Assurance, so I will be waiting for a new KMS host key for Windows

Server 2008.

 

Thank you very much.
