Folks
I'm trying to set up a KMS host on a Windows 2008 Ent R2 server. There will be no DNS involved from KMS client to KMS host.
The issue I'm facing is that I'm not able to complete the KMS host setup to begin with.
I am able to successfully run: cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk <key>. However, when I try to run the /ato option - I get an error message like so:
Error: 0xC004C008 The activation server determined that the specified product key could not be used.
Other posts have talked about opening port 1688 etc. but I'm not even talking about setting up a KMS client right now.
What am I doing wrong....
Thanks !
