Hi, I'm in the process of decommissioning a 2008 DC with KMS installed, I know the KMS service is seperate from AD DS and I believe that the decom should not affect KMS but I just wanted to check to see if anyone has had experience with this before going ahead, <br />
<br />
Will the KMS service be afected during or after the decom.<br />
<br />
thanks in advance.
