Default Office 2010 & KMS Server

Thanks Neo.

I do not have a KMS server. I was reading that KMS can run on a domain
controller without any problems. So I was planning to use a DC as a KMS
server. Do you see this as a problem?

Do I run KeyManagementServiceHost.exe on the server that I want to be the
KMS server?

Thanks

Do you already have a KMS server established for Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2?

If yes to the above, is the KMS server installed on Windows 2003, Windows 7,
or Windows 2008R2? Reason I ask is that KMS on Vista & Windows 2008 isn't
supported.

If you do have a KMS server established for Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2, you
can extend your KMS host using:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-fdc21fe8d965

As soon as you run this, you will need to supply your Office 2010 KMS host
license key.

What else... oh, the ProPlus version that was made available on 4/22 to
MSDN/TechNet isn't a volume license edition. It is a retail copy.
Therefore you will need to get the VL edition from your SA download area
which may go live today based on postings around the web.

I want to start testing Office 2010 for a rollout in the upcoming months.
What are the steps to setup a KMS server for Office 2010?

Thanks!
