Hello,
Those are requests from clients that the KMS host machine cannot service.
Beta clients for example
Clients the KMS Host key is not valid for(KMS, KMS_A or KMS_B keys. KMS_C
would be all of them)
Timestamps of client machine requests that not close to the KMS Host
machine time.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
