We have a 2012 server as our KMS server. It’s been a while since I’ve set it up, and now it’s time for me to move the KMS solution to a 2016 server. Our current KMS server activates 3 versions of office, as well as windows 10 and server 2016 (and below)
I have some questions, though. Since it’s been a long time, I’ve forgotten some stuff.
I was reading the https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2016/10/19/windows-server-2016-volume-activation-tips/ article, and it mentioned there was a problem:
“Setting up new Windows Server 2016 KMS host
If you want to setup a new Windows Server 2016 KMS host normally you can use the Volume Activation services role wizard or command line to configure the KMS host.
We are aware of issue where when you run the Volume Activation Services role wizard, it will report the error “vmw.exe has stopped working” during the product key management phase of the wizard
Microsoft is investigating this issue and will update this blog when a fix is available but in meantime you will need to configure it using the steps below
1. Open elevated cmd prompt
2. Install the Windows Server 2016 CSVLK
cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <insert Windows Srv 2016 DataCtr/Std KMS CSVLK here>
3. Activate the Windows Server 2016 CSVLK
Cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato”
Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed?
Also, I activate office against my KMS server. I activate versions: “Office 15”, “Office 16”, and “Microsoft Office 2010”. If I remember correctly, I had to install an office volume license pack for office activation for each office version.
Can I do KMS activation (on a 2016 server) for the above versions of office? If so, do I still need to install the volume license pack software?
Also, what key do I put into the server itself, for the KMS server’s O.S. activation? Is it a mak key?
