Zort tnx for your help I tried sfc /scannow the system scan for system file replace but after that the problem is yet there. The OEMACTIVATION.vbs give me the same error...also the solution of 911Medic doesn't solve the problem. It's possible that during activation the network connection must be enable?? (I think for a check about network) It's possible that there's a problem with the HP tag in the MOBO firmware made by you?? There's something to do?? Tnx again Alex
reinstall without entering any serial number. After the install is complete, use the tool, the oembios files specified, and it should activate. I have just installed and activated one this morning...just to be sure. How did you install. Did you enter a serial????? What image did you use?
I use the image downloaded from Microsoft website 120 day trial and then pass with the FixedBit's Windows Home Server OEM Disk Maker. During the install no key entered. Regards Alex
I will have to look at this. I really dont have time to look now..Maybe by the end of the week. The image should input an oem key during install, then you change it again after. If you have VM, can you try to install your iso with the key I PM'd you. Enter this on install, then run the tool. If you cant, I will try the D/L myself... EDIT: See PM...I think there is an easier way...
Thanks for hanging in there. The OEM2VLK tool is change per this smaller fix.. Be sure the system reboot and loads all the server modules correctly. The trial I have tested it with is sporadic, but I have not used the WHS maker..it is 100% 120day trial.
I tried to activate WHS and the system told me that the system is already activated and also the activate message didn't popup anymore. In the properties of mycomputer there's a registered WHS, custom and a key XXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX There's something more to watch or is ok? Regards Alex
Nope, thats it. I have tried to activate a pure trial with the timebomb..It activates fine, but the boot up is a bit funky..I am just plaiying with the various files now. I just want to be sure we got em all. What size was the ISO that you installed, if you dont mind.. 1.05 GB or 850mb.. I want to be sure the rest was ok through the WHS maker.. It looks good so far though..Happy I could help you..
As I told you I use the image from Microsoft (trial 120 day) and the ISO generated after whs_oem_maker5 is 827MB. The system seems working great, I apply also update from Microsoft update without any problem. Tnx again for your support. Alex
