Hi all, I installed a version of Windows Server 2019 Standard, File : SW_DVD9_Win_Server_STD_CORE_2019_64Bit_French_DC_STD_MLF_X21-96582 Version : 17763.194 Do you know if we can activate this version ? I bought digital key but no way to activate : error code 0xC004C003 . If i use slmgr commands, i see key is blocked Thank you
I know the KMS tools by Ratiborus but first time i hear of this tools ^^ This is the good place for download it ? : github.com / lixuy /KMS_VL_ALL Thank you
I used KMS_VL_ALL cmd and.. it works, huge! Simple, much more easy than others tools. Thank you for help
Tried Microsoft Toolkit and it didnt correctly identify it as 2019 nor did it activate it. How do I activate 2019?
So this is not as clear for newbies and the microsoft website will confuse you even more. Here is the laymans way: Extract the ISO to a folder, we'll call it c:\image\extract Create a new folder in c:\image called mount. The path should be c:\image\mount Open admin prompt and enter Code: dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:c:\image\extract\sources\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\image\mount (this assumes that the .wim file is in the sources folder. For the EN iso, this is how it was for me. Note that /name is not the file name, but image name; its not obvious either. We will use /index for simplicity) After it is done mounting, enter Code: dism /Image:c:\image\mount /Get-TargetEditions Then you will get a list of availble editions: I set mine to ServerStandard Code: dism /Image:c:\image\mount /Set-Edition:ServerStandard Finally, commit the changes Code: dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:c:\image\mount /Commit The files that were extracted to the mount folder are now saved into the install.wim file. You can copy the contents in the extract folder to an usb drive or convert to iso for installation.
Awww come on, Server Essentials is very newb friendly. Creating the ISO from scratch, isnt something newbs do 24/7. You got to start somehwere...
If I want to convert all 4 Eval. images in install.wim to normal editions, I need to repeat these commands 4 times (with different /index), right? Besides, when I executed the command "dism.exe /image:"c:\mount1" /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenterCor", it displayed an error message like "Offered file control codes is invalid" right under "Starting to update components...". What is the problem? UPDATE: I changed the command to: It seems solved the error. However, I copied the .wim back to thumb drive and boot with it, it displayed the error: UPDATE 2: Sorry, I've read more posts in this thread and downloaded en_windows_server_2019_x64_dvd_3c2cf1202.iso and ct_windows_server_2019_x64_dvd_af47f9fe.svf and have used them to generate ct_windows_server_2019_x64_dvd_af47f9fe.iso. I made installation media using Rufus 3.4p with MBR partition scheme because I want to install it on an old server without UEFI. I can boot to installer on my working machine, however it's rebooted in about 10 seconds if I press F8 and select the media on target server(ASUS TS300-E4-PA4). If I insert a Windows 7 media, it displayed similar message as in UPDATE 1, but with different status code: Is it because this server is too old to install these OS or there are some sort of defect? I did see there are some problem on this server like alert about case opened(but I've put the door back and reboot), always request blank password when entering BIOS, but I didn't setup one. UPDATE 3: After several trial including adjusting BIOS settings and checking for jumper misconfiguration, I thought this server reached its end of life and gave up. I've installed Windows Server 2019 on another PC. However, I found that it's not stable: CRITICAL PROCESS DIED error when click update driver button in Device Manager. Freeze when searching graphic card driver on AMD web site using built in IE. But I'm not sure what's the cause. After running memory diagnostic one by one, one module is defected.
