We're updating from VAMT 2 to VAMT 3 for KMS licensing of our Windows 7 installations. We have a new server configured with VAMT 3 and have changed the DNS entries to point KMS licensing to the new host. Do we need to manually activate machines in order to get the new KMS server running (you typically need a minimum number of requests before the server will begin auto-activation) or will those requests happen by themselves as the machines check for renewal?

I'm not sure if you are in the right Forum here, lack of answers would suggest you are not.
Is this of any use to you?
"VAMT can be installed on, and can manage, physical or virtual instances. VAMT cannot detect whether or not the remote products are virtual. As long as the products can respond to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) calls, they will be discovered and activated."

Thanks for the reply, Linney. I'm probably in the wrong forum but I did figure out the answer: Once your DNS points are in place for the new KMS server, the machines will request and activate on the new server without having to run any additional slmgr commands.
