I had that and just hit it. Progress. Added an IP of one of the laptops, then 
right clicked it and installed the product key then forced the activation on 
the laptop. Looks good.

One thing I found to be a huge help for this was the Volume Activation Tool. It 
makes it much easier to see if the clients are using a KMS key and to force 
them to activate.

Wooo, I may have it going and just didn't know it.

Name: Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, W7R2-Kms1 edition
Description: Windows(TM) Server 2003 KMS, VOLUME_KMS_W7 channel
Partial Product Key: <Munged but matches the key>
License Status: Licensed

Key Management Service is enabled on this machine
    Current count: 2
    Listening on Port: 1688
    DNS publishing enabled
    KMS priority: Normal

That 'current count' is that the threshold I need to get to 25 for this thing 
to start delivering activation?  That is low, I have 6 laptops sitting here 
running that I keep forcing to hit the server for activation.

Run this from a cmd and look at your results: "cscript 
c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli all"

Incorrect. You just need to load up some KMS updates. :) I have KMS running on 
2003 and it's handing things out for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.

Last I checked, KMS running on server 2003 can't grant licenses for any OS 
newer than 2003.

Ok, I am not getting this KMS thing. Windows server 2003 with KMS 1.2 update on 
it.  It is registering in my DNS, seems to be ok there. Now I want it to 
activate my Win 7 and Office 2010 clients. So I fire the following command:     
 slmgr -IPK MY-WIN7-KEY-IN-HERE   and get a pop that says   Installed product 
key successfully.  However it does not show after that as a license on the KMS 
server using -dlv.  I have tried -ATO on the Win7 license and that fails.

I am missing something obvious here, I think I have made this too complicated 
in my head.
