VAMT error when showing AD-based Activation

[Mike Leone]

I am installing VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool) on a Win 2019 host. And I'm seeing something odd. In the VAMT tool, when I click on "Active Directory-Based Activation", I see the 4 KMS keys I have entered into AD (my AD forest is a Win 2012 R2 DFL/FFL, even though my DCs are all Win 2019). I also have my old KMS host running (a Win 2012 R2 server), but I'm trying to migrate away from it, and use just AD activations.

On those AD keys, I entered the KMS key for Office 2021 LTSC, that I got from my VLSC I was able to install it into AD. Yet, when I look at the VAMT entry for that key , it says:

The KMS host key (CSVLK) used to create this AD activation object does not support any products that capable of AD activation

I saw this same error on my old VAMT host, which was running on Win 2012 R2. I figured it was because it was on an old OS, hence that's why I installed a new VAMT on a Win 2019 host.

So what's up with this? I had another response that said this was just cosmetic, but now I'm not sure.

I also entered a Win Server 2019 KMS key into AD, and clicking on that shows "Supported Products: Windows 8, Windows Server 2012". I don't know how that can possibly be right ...

Any clues as to what's going on here? VAMT shows version 10.1.19041.0.

If I scan computer objects in AD, it does find computers with Office 2021 LTSC installed. And it says it's successfully licensed, via AD Activation ...

Which says to me that the listing under "Active Directory-Based Activation" that says the product isn't supported to be AD  activated .. is somewhat less than 100% accurate ...
