This article describes how to designate administrators for the KMS.

 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 2) In the console tree, click Advanced Security.
 * 3) In the details pane, right-click Key Manager, and then click Properties.

 * 7) In the Set Administrator Password box, type a KMS administrator password for the user who you selected, retype the password for confirmation, and then click OK.
 * 8) To remove an administrator, click the Administrators tab, select that person's name, and then click Remove.NOTE: When you add someone to the KMS administrators list, you have to run the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard to grant that person Exchange Server administrator rights. An administrator needs these rights for the administrative group in which the Key Management server is located.
