Hi Darrell,

I too would like to know where to obtain the Volume Activation 2.0 service
to create a KMS server. If I have read everything correctly the Volume
Activation 2.0 service needs to be installed on a Windows 2003 server along
with a DNS entry and then all Vista clients will query the KMS server for
activation.
I noticed that you never really answer question submitted by the orginator.
is the Volume Activation 2.0 service available for download from MS? If so,
could you provide the link?
If it is not, do you know when it will be available?

We already have a KMS Volume key issued, so need to convert to one.

Thanks.

Hello,
The KMS key you have can be used on Windows Vista to setup a KMS Server.
All the functionality of KMS is already present in the Volume License
copies of Windows Vista
There is a wealth of Information available on Volume Licensing in Windows
Vista.
This article points to number of different documents explaining how to set
this up.
929712 Volume Activation information for Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;929712

The version of KMS for Windows Server 2003 is not available for download as
it's still in beta.
Targeted for release in Q1 of 2007.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
