I have not seen any whitepapers from Microsoft or anyone else regarding using KMS. One of the best resources I found was the Exchange 5.0 courseware.
Not to "toot my own horn", but I spent an awful lot of time covering the KMS in my Exchange 2000 book (Exchange 2000 Server 24Seven) (http://tinyurl.com/5tk7). Probably a lot more than was really necessary for the typical administrator. Paul Robichaux has just published a new book called Secure Messaging with Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 (http://tinyurl.com/5tk9). Though I don't have a my copy yet (it just came out last week), but I am sure that Paul will cover the subject thoroughly and in a manner that is easy to understand. One of the issues that you will be faced with is "rolling your own" S/MIME certificates (use X.509v3 certs) versus going to a third party and paying by the cert. If you go to a 3rd party, their certificates will be trusted by the rest of the world, but you will pay more. The Comodo Group has got a pretty good solution for managing your own S/MIME certs but using their CA (http://www.comodo.net). Baltimore has got a solution that allows your Windows 2000 Cert Server to be trusted by their root CA, but I don't know how much that solution costs. If you just have a few users that need S/MIME capabilities, I would get them from a 3rd party.
