Thanks for the info. Can I add this to one of my existing Domain Controllers? Is there a best practice?
yes you can add it to a domain controller. Best practice is domain controllers should only be domain controllers but economics may dictate otherwise. It is a low impact item so you should be ok
Thanks for the info. One last question. Do I have to add a role to the server?
no just follow the 2nd video walkthrough
OK Thanks much appreciated.

I followed the steps in the video and was able to set up the KMS host. When I went into DNS to see if the srv record was created I see 5 or 6 different entries for _VLMCS pointing to different servers. What do I make of that?
Also, now that I have setup a KMS host will I be able to validate office., win 7, and server?
