1048765 - 2008 Puppet: License are not activating through KMS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: Puppet, task)

Description

[Mark Cornmesser [:markco]]

A step will need to be added to the task sequence or with in the Puppet run to activate license. Puppet would be the better choice.

Comment 1

[Mark Cornmesser [:markco]]

This has been moved into the task sequence. For some reason the command did to set KMS server would not set the server when ran by Puppet. 

Steps added to task sequence: 

C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -skms "kms1.ad.mozilla.com

C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato

I am reopening this bug. The kms manifest were incorrectly submitted in a patch. Also i want to take another look at getting this to work through Puppet.

[Mark Cornmesser [:markco]]

When there is a DNS entry for kms pointing to kms1.ad.mozilla.com in ns1.private.releng.scl3.mozilla.com the license will activate without any further configuration. However, the machine will attempt to periodically re-authenticate its license with the server, and if it can't reach the server it will deactivate the license, so we may want to Puppet to verify that the license is activated and warn if it is not.

Puppet can't really do "warn" -- it can fail, or it can try to automatically fix (perhaps with /ato?)

Comment 5

[Mark Cornmesser [:markco]]

The following srv records needed to be added: 

_vlmcs._tcp.winbuild.releng.scl3.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.wintry.releng.scl3.mozilla.com

Without the winbuild or wintry suffix the activation attempts where failing because the local machine was not able to find the kms server.

I also added entries for AWS build, test, and try VLANs in use1 and usw2:

_vlmcs._tcp.build.releng.use1.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.build.releng.usw2.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.test.releng.use1.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.test.releng.usw2.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.try.releng.use1.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com
_vlmcs._tcp.try.releng.usw2.mozilla.com 	SRV 	kms1.ad.mozilla.com

Apparently we aren't using the KMS server for the MSDN licenses, just the OS, and that's handled through amazon directly. I removed the other SRV records so as not to conflict.
