RE: Windows 2008 KMS, not licensing Vista clients



Hello Roland,
open an elevated cmd prompt and run

C:\Windows\system32\slmgr -dlv

Do this on your KMS host machine as well as a couple of the KMS client
machines.
What is the output? I removed the data from some of the lines. What is
the output of the rest of them
THe KMS Machine name entry was removed, but you need to verify that the
client machines are pointing to the correct KMS host machine.

Sample Output below:
