Error 0x80092328 — DNS name does not exist (another KMS error)

Error 0x80092328: DNS name does not exist (another KMS error)

This error occurs in: Windows Server.

Cause

Another variation of the DNS error — the KMS client cannot find the KMS server via DNS. Often related to the configuration of an isolated environment or VLAN.

Symptoms

• During activation, the message appears: "DNS name does not exist (another KMS error)"
• Error code: 0x80092328
• English version: "DNS name does not exist"

Step-by-step solution

Configure the KMS server address manually: slmgr.vbs /skms <server_address>. Or switch to MAK activation.

Solution for Windows Server

1. Open PowerShell as administrator
2. Enter the key:

slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

1. Activate:

slmgr /ato

1. Check the status:

slmgr /xpr

Verification

After performing the steps, check if the activation was successful:

• Windows: Settings → System → Activation → should be "Windows is activated"
• Or: slmgr /xpr in the command line

Still not working?

If the above steps did not help:

1. Check the date and time — they must be correct (an incorrect date can block activation)
2. Temporarily disable antivirus and try again
3. Check the internet connection — online activation requires a connection to Microsoft servers
