Server 2008 - Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC event ID 12293

I have a Server 2008 Standard machine that was originally installed using a KMS key, I have since changed the key to a MAK via Control Panel > System > Change product key.

However every night I receive this error in my Application event log:

Log Name:      Application
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC
Date:          4/22/2010 9:22:19 AM
Event ID:      12293
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      server.domain.internal
Description:
Publishing the Key Management Service (KMS) to DNS in the 'domain.internal' domain failed.
Info:
hr=0x80072338

I have run slmgr /dlv and I see the line "VOLUME_KMS_B_channel", however I also see "Key Management Service is enabled on this machine"

I don't want to use KMS and I want to get rid of that error. Can anyone help?

"Use the slmgr -IPK command to replace the product key.  Type in the MAK product key... this will replace the KMS with the MAK and the error should go away"

Tried that. The error still remains.

NJComputerNetworks,
I tried your solution again using a different key this time. Turns out that MS volume licensing labeled my MAK key as a KMS key and vice-versa. Thanks!
