Ok everyone that helped, tyvm. All set now and I am handing out licenses and activations without any trouble. Part of the problem was CMID's were not properly reset by a tech when he created the image. So the counter was not really moving up on the KMS server adding to my confusion. But you folks as usual got me pointed in the right direction.

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. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
