MCSA 70 740 Notes

The document discusses planning for Windows Server 2016, including the 6 available editions, roles and features, and installation options like Desktop, Server Core, and Nano Server. It also covers the different product key options for licensing including retail keys, OEM keys, and volume licensing which uses Multiple Activation Keys (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) to activate larger networks. KMS utilizes a KMS host and DNS to activate clients, while Active Directory-Based Activation similarly hosts keys in Active Directory. Automatic Virtual Machine Activation is also described for activating VMs on an activated Hyper-V host.

o Multipoint premium server
o Storage server
o Hyper-V server
 Product Keys
o Retail Key
 One time use
o OEM Keys
 Burnt in to the system that a manufacturer sells
o Volume Licensing
 Has multiple activation models
 MAK (Multiple Activation Keys)

 Single server handles all server activations
 Requires VAMT
o Volume Activation management Tools

o Utilizes a KMS host with VAMT (volume activation management

 Has a CSVLK (Consumer server volume license key)
o Works through DNS using a Servise locater record.
 Utilizes DNS to discover hosts, and dns to communicate
with hosts.
o KMS host activates all clients on the network
 Must meet the Activation Threshold
 Requires 25 clients or 5 servers
 Reactivates every 180 days for clients,
 Attempt to renew their activation every 7 days
 KMS clients use a GVLK (Generic Volume License Key)
 Utilized to conver MAK to KMS client
 ADBA (Active-Directory- Based Activation)
o Similar to KMS, But hosts the CSVLK as an activation object in
active directory
o Computers joined to domain are activated
o Reccomended Activation model
o Doesn’t require a kmso
o Requires server 2012 and higher, or windows 8 and up
 AVMA (Automatic Virtual Machine activation)
