Is that box the only DNS server that the workstations are set to resolve to?
Any local firewall on the box?

I can see the kms record in dns. When I do the nslookup command that is the troubleshooting guide it pulls up the record, but if I try to active the machine it says no dns record found. If I set the kms server ip in the system it works fine. So I am not sure what is fully going on. I know that dns is working just fine as the dns machine is the kms server and does dhcp.
