Vista Business Volume Licenseand KMS Service - computers not activiating

[Eddie Walker]

I have 30+ computers more than the minimum to activate the KMS services for
vista volume.

The computers are not activating. In the key management serivce log on the
service i can see the computers making the request. The report says only 3
have registered.

Any idea what could be wrong. I called one of the MS 800 's and they wanted
$600 to assist me?

Thanks,
Ed
