If you use the event log to track or document KMS activations, periodically export the Key Management Service event log from the Applications and Services Logs folder of Event Viewer.
However, if you use a tool to routinely clean up event logs, the activation history stored in the logs can be lost. Should I back up KMS host information?īackup is not required for KMS hosts.
If you suspect that your issue is related to DNS, see Common troubleshooting procedures for KMS and DNS issues.
