I part-time manage a branch office IT infrastructure. (More formally, I am developer who has unofficially assumed the IT role.) There are other sites within the company running a common domain. Originally we were not connected via site-to-site VPN to other sites, so we created our own separate domain. After a number of years things have changed and we are now connected and are moving our IT infrastructure to the common domain. This has been progressing for a few months, generally fairly smoothly.
We also have two Hyper-V hosts, one running Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter. I set it up a number of years back and until now have not had any problems. Recently I noticed one of our VMs that I had moved from the old domain to the new domain a few weeks back had failed to register its IP in the DNS. Checking the event log indicated KMS failures. I naively tried to re-activate it: slmgr /ipk 74YFP-3QFB3-KQT8W-PMXWJ-7M648. The screen turned black and indicated that Windows is not genuine.
I have checked several of the other VMs, but there does not seem to be any significant issues so far. Please note that the VM host is still in the original domain. Googling around I found this, I found this indicating to check the SRV record for _vlmcs._tcp. The domain had changed, so this was pointing to the old domain. (Still available if necessary.) I updated it in the new domain DNS. I have also verified that the VM host server is available over port 1688 via telnet.
I then ran the above slmgr /ipk again. It indicates that the key was successfully applied, but Windows still indicates that the environment is not genuine. I'd appreciate some help in resolving this.
Here is the output for slmgr /dlv on the Hyper-V VM host.
(Please let me know if this contains any keys that I should not post here and I will gladly edit it.)
