Hi Did a Dell installation and put in the dell media to install windows 2008
Then joined the machine to the domain - its a files server so added this then added hyper v Installed the virtual 2008 server from the dell media, Because the host is a dell and I used the dell disks its pre activated however The server has 2 key's 1 for the host machine and another for the virtual machine - this key doesn't work, we also have 3 other dell servers with virtual keys these don't work either So Is this the media I am using? If so how do I get a copy of 2008 for a virtual machine that I have a key for Thanks Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: www.ultraframe.com Email: mailto:[email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jon Harris Sent: 12 July 2013 23:28 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Hyperv windows 2008 keys Did you make it a virtual machine?
