Hi there - I have a question around the support of my own KMS server VM in Azure. I currently have multiple tenants and need to activate my Windows 10 licenses in one tenant with KMS volume license keys from another tenant. Is this possible? Is it simply a matter of running the slmgr.vbs /skms command and specifying the KMS server VM on the Windows 10 VMs to override the KMS.core.windows.net address? Or is it more involved than that? Will this ever get reverted back to KMS.core.windows.net ? For example, if a VM is redeployed? Any other considerations that I’m not thinking of?
Please advise. Thanks!

You need to make sure the virtual networks of both tenants can communicate with each other. Also, the DNS of the tenant having clients that need activation should be able to resolve the KMS host address on another tenant.
Redeploying the VM will not revert it back to KMS.core.windows.net
Thanks!
