Just in case this might save someone some time:
I've got 2 KMS hosts on the network and I went through the process of preparing them for the new KMS keys that support R2 and W7. No issues at all with the process. But I had no R2 or W7 machines on the network to test. Activation count on both servers is above 5 by the way. Brought up an R2 VM and it wouldn't activate. So I do the usual troubleshooting. Is it a firewall issue, connectivity, port 1688, SRV records. I could see the activation request on the client, the KMS host received it and saw the response was received by the client in the event logs. No errors. Scratching my head for about an hour.. .then I noticed that I to configure the time zone correctly on the client. Boom, it activated. Not the sharpest tool in the shed today.
