Hello, I just buy an PowerEdge 2950 III (not yet receive it) without any OS. I already have the Dell OEM windows Server 2008 Standard edition (but i m looking now for the web edition) My question is : i learn than when the dell computer is buy without any OS the bios is not ready to work with the Dell OEM windows Server 2008 ! Is it true ? What to do to in this way ? thanks by advance
yes, i already check this thread, they say to update the service tag by "pass:12/31" and than the slic will magiquely apear in the bios ! honestly i doubt of this but why not i will make a try ... ! I hope i will not break anything serious in the bios ... Where can i find the utility asset.exe for dell poweredge 2950 III ?
Just to say to anyone that it's work !! i buy new Dell PowerEdge 2950 without windows and off course with no slic in the bios ! so i do asset PASS:12/31 and now windows server are now activated !!!
wow that is awesome, truely aamazing. Too bad I can't use it for business because it breaks all licensing agreements. Home though is a different story.
Not sure, the only explaning you need to do is to the Dell people, Microsoft people won't ask you anything since it becomes OEM
What am I trying to change in this process? The Service Tag or The Asset Tag? The asset command does not seem correct if I am trying to change the service tag.
