      We are pushing out Windows 7 which via volume activation
      requires either MAK or KMS.
      Which details which ports to open, and which DNS settings are required
      to find the KMS host?

        maybe you should give us little more information, like where you have servers and where is your clients. (meaning subnets), because i haven't had to do anything like this before. maybe http://technet.microsoft.com is more suitable place to start this kind of problem solving.

          KMS Activation

          Spells out the default port of tcp 1688 and then section 2 lists what records your dns server must have.
