Hi Out of frustration and the need to get this server up and running
I used a retail install disk of 2008 server and then used the hyperv k on the top of the server to activate the machine It worked ! So how if you bought a Dell server with install media do you get hyper v running if you don't have a retail disk ? Anyway I know for the other servers I have to work on, just seemed strange this key would only work with the retail media Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: www.ultraframe.com <http://www.ultraframe.com> Email: mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nigel Parker Sent: 15 July 2013 08:07 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Hyperv windows 2008 keys 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?
