Good morning,
I have recently set up a 2012 R2 DC on my network, as part of a network upgrade from XP to 7. I am in the process of installing KMS for windows activation. I have installed the Volume activation Tools role on the server, and go through until i click 'commit' to activate the KMS host, but i get a security error (please see attached image). Why do i get this error? i can't seem to find a decent guide on how to set up KMS for windows 7 on server 2012 R2, and i am new to KMS. Anything else i need to do before this, or anything i need to check when installing? Thanks in advance,
Regards
Harry
