Move licensing/KMS function to another server
I have a windows 2008 R2 server that act as KMS/licensing server.
Is it possible to see if my windows 2008 server is using that licensing-function?
Now I want to move that function to another server.
How do I do that?

Run the command below in elevated cmd.exe:
cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.
Within the output, you will see:
Key Management Service is enabled on this machine
Current count: xx
Listening on Port: 1688
DNS publishing <enabled>
KMS priority: Normal
Or you can run the following command on a KMS client to see where it points to for licensing:
cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.
To move KMS to another server, you just need to stand up another KMS instance on another server and publish SRV on DNS server and GPO as shown on link that David Johnson indicated above
cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.

If I run "cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.
I need to determine if there is a gpo or srv setting for the current KMS?
