    I have the Server 2008 R2 trial that defaults not to 4 30-day rearms but 5 10-day ones (total of 60 days, though they give you a key good for 180 more, but I haven't used it). Which rearm count would I reset to with this tool?

    I believe it's safe to try on your registry or it would'n't work cuase we set up version/edition query for the OS being attempted to be run on. Please leave you info as to how many rearms you get since this thread is new and we can use the extra testing and information

    However in it being trial I am uncertain but I think it will...lol

    It won't be for a while though. Note that the version and edition should come back the same as any other Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (7600), so I'm not sure how it can be differentiated, but I think MS can vary the grace period by their choice of built-in key or other means. I know that there are other ISOs for this same version that are the normal 4x30.

    Suggestion by the way. Make this work on Vista ;)

    Vista should allow the same exploit and you shouldn't have to change much code either.

    Wouldn't even need XML, you just store the username and start time into the registry and then whenever you need it you just read the registry key.

    Code:
    schtasks /sc weekly /tn "Rearm" /tr C:\reset.bat /f
    I'm not sure what you need the username for because as far as I know task scheduling doesn't require it.

    ^ Your existing command will do everything automatically, I don't see why that would need xml or even a username? :confused:

    *Edit*
    Change the rearm process to a batch file -- this bit "'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' /c cscript.exe /b C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs /rearm && 'C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe'". If in the batch file it fails to process the commands (use error handling) then it means the rearm count is up so you just need to reset the rearm count, this can all be done with your existing scheduled task.

    /sc can be set to "ONSTART". You just need a script that runs on the start and checks how many days you have left, if it has 0 then rearm or reset ;)

    You change the whole scheduled command and you need to find out how to pull the rearm count and then you can progress.
