KMS activation failing


---------------------------
windows script host

activating windows server(r), serverstandardcore edition (c99b641f-c4ea-4e63-bec3-5ed2ccd0f357) ...
on computer running microsoft windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0x80072ee7' display error text.
error: 0x80072ee7

not sure why i'm getting error. according can't resolve server name. problem i'm not using fqdn - i'm using kms server's ip address in slmgr -skms [ip address here]

also strangely, server full install built @ same time can activate against same kms server.

any ideas?

hi again,

 

from output of slmgr /dlv, seems servercore machine installed kms host key (volume_kms_r2_b), , there no dns information. please use following commands resolve kms dns address:

 

nslookup

>servername.domain

 

see if dns responding , return valid ip address. if not, please check dns client configuration. continue step in nslookup query srv record:

 

>set q=srv

>_vlmcs._tcp

 

if not able resolve srv record, may need publish kms dns. please refer to:

 

configuring dns

 

however, error can kms key problem, based on experience, should use kms client setup key published microsoft activate kms client. if input kms server key on it, think kms server , register in dns record. please use following windows server 2008 r2 standard kms setup key:

 

slmgr.vbs /ipk  yc6kt-gkw9t-ytkyr-t4x34-r7vhc

slmgr.vbs /skms <kms server ip address>

slmgr.vbs /ato

 

if you are activating a windows server 2008 client, please use the setup key: tm24t-x9rmf-vwxk6-x8jc9-bfgm2

best regards
