  3. Hint reg tweak to make it same as my results :

    Code:
    Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" 
    >> [sppsvc (softwareprotectionplatformservice) ]

    Code:
    Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "VLActivationInterval"
    Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "VLRenewalInterval"
    Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "DisableKeyManagementServiceHostCaching"
    Reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation" /v "ActivationInterval"
    
    there you are ;)

    Application ID will always remain static in kms38 but Activation ID will be dynamic.
    To remove Registered KMS Machine Host you must remove the data values inside your activation id sub reg key present inside application id reg key on same reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"

    dont worry about machine activation status it will remain activated after doing such reg tweaks.

    Edit :
    Complete KMS38Tweak Script i CALL Just after KMS38 in my Setupcomplete cmd as follows [This Script is Created by Myself on 18th Jan20 shared just on MDL > havent shared it before anywhere else :

    Code:
    @echo off & title Disable KMS Host Cache ^& Registered Machine Plus Port & color 17
    PowerShell -Command "$key = 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f'; Get-ChildItem $key | foreach { Remove-ItemProperty -Path \"$key\$($_.pschildname)\" -Name KeyManagementServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose }"
    PowerShell -Command "$key = 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f'; Get-ChildItem $key | foreach { Remove-ItemProperty -Path \"$key\$($_.pschildname)\" -Name KeyManagementServicePort -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Verbose }"
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "VLActivationInterval" /t REG_DWORD /d 8640000 /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "VLRenewalInterval" /t REG_DWORD /d 8640000 /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" /v "DisableKeyManagementServiceHostCaching" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation" /v "ActivationInterval" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation" /v "Manual" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation" /v "NotificationDisabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    
    Will Give Absolutely same Results as Mine Shown as an Example by Myself Here .

    Regards ;)

    thanks for this script! I did this but registered kms machine name always comes up for me, I can't get it to show not available :|
     
  8. Brother After You Execute this Script as Admin Registered KMS Machine Host Name as well as Port will be removed for sure. Always tested this script on several new Install Virtual Machines since jan2020 but i never suggest KMS based Activation for Host.

  10. No its not Brother . Wait Let me again create a new VM on my Vmware Workstation & will see if it wont remove those keys with Name KeyManagementServiceName & Name KeyManagementServicePort via that powershell command to get all child keys or sub reg keys at requested reg key then do the change as per entered via that command.
     
  11. That means my script is working like a charm thanks brother for saving my time to again set up a vm to recheck this script.
    Brother you being a MDL tester & myself just a MDL user if you ask me what will it do ? You already know what will it do for sure.

    Because some here have a reputation of just parroting others' stuff, and this time it didn't change squad, except messing with the intervals and who knows what more.
