Hello,
We re-image all the machines. We had no issues with Windows 7, even new Dells. For Windows 10, we have no issues on the older models, just the new ones.
If we use ShowKeyPlus application, we can see the original OEM licenses, which was my comment. Machines that have an OEM license with 8.1, we can re-image and the KMS server is fine. If the OEM license was Windows 10, we receive an error. The code is 0xC004C003. Right now, our work around is to use the MAK license file.

I remember I had come across an article a couple years ago approaching the Windows 10 launch about updating your KMS environment to support Windows 10 clients. I just found it, might be something you want to review to see if it provides any clues as to what might be preventing those machines from activating:

Hello Andre,
I did struggle to get the right keys until I found a similar article, and downloaded the KMS right key. Until I did this, I received an error when I ran slmgr.vbs /ipk <KMS key>.
When I run slmgr.vbs /dlv command, I do get the right output:
Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMS_2012-R2_WIN10 channel
I believe this could have been an issue, but it is not what is happening to us.
