    Just curious why people are asking for localized languages, isn't the point of a server to set it and forget it? unless they need for TS server clients that don't speak english :smokecowboy:

    They are using server as a workstation because Dreamspark doesn’t offer client versions. And R2 is not yet available on Dreamspark.

    the irony of course is that WS2012R2 is currently the only OS without activation at the moment, and no one really know how SLP 2.3 will look like (especially since they hiked the price of Datacenter with $4k, kinda gives them motivation for more putting more fun into the process :worthy:

    or search really really hard and you might find an R2 retail key. I did lmao

    I am not using it and not planning to give away or use it so please don't ask k.thx. It is like a trophy, first one put on a server that I found while data*cough*mining. Was a total accident I swear!

    Can someone tell me the consequenses of running R2 for a while unactivated?
    I have Bing searched but not really found any answers.

    I am planning to upgrade my server hardware this weekend (Already received parts yesterday) which currently runs WHS2011, and am thinking of going Standard 2012 R2 with the Essentials Role added.
    Mainly want R2 over plain 2012 because of the extra Hyper-V upgrades in R2 as I plan to run a few VM's on the new server.

    But I dont know what problems I am likely to run into if I just run it unactivated for a month or two until one of the really intelligent people on this forum work out an activation solution.
    (Why oh why did I let my technet subscription expire... wish I didnt now)

    If there is likely to be any annoying problems I will just go plain 2012 and reinstall with R2 when an activation solution comes out.

    Many thanks to any answers.

    Hello,
    Without activation, you cannot personalize or configure your server correctly specially to add roles or features... It seems to me that the media server of R2 is not present in the essentials RTM version; My server is well activated. Somebody have information on this problem ? Media server was present in the essentials R2 preview

    yeah it was removed (rumors now so grain of salt and all that). something with lawyers and whatever. Supposedly will be an "add-on" available later. I wouldn't mind hard confirmation but rumor mill is all I find right now. Will it go the way of WMC? dunno haha
