So that you don’t need to support KMS servers? It also requires that all clients be authenticated, which KMS did not.
If all your clients and apps (Office) are uplevel and support AD activation, I don’t see any reason to maintain a KMS server… Thanks, Brian Desmond w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Jim Sent: Monday, July 18, 2016 8:18 AM To: 'ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com' <ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [NTSysADM] KMS vs AD So I am re-rolling my KMS sever. Why would I want to use AD activation instead of KMS?
