Just simply add OEM key/certificate to have full activated version. That process has been covered here on MDL quite a lot. Post back with any questions or progress.
i am not requesting to be spoon fed, so i wont be requesting how to do this, but can you please just direct me to a thread where it is covered? Much appreciated
No, the non-VL versions from MSDN will not take the VLK. You need a VL image. This is about Server 2003. There's no certificate, and it will only take the type of key the CD image is for (eval/retail/VL/OEM). Besides, if he's got a valid VLK he's not going to need an OEM installation image.
ok, so, Is the MSDN version OEM? and then back to my original question, where can i find delta's (if this is needed) to convert OEM/MSDN to VLK Thanks,
1: No, MSDN is retail 2: You're not going to find them here i guess, these forums are (mostly) dedicated to OEM pre-activation techniques
This is what i have : Code: File: en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_with_sp2_cd1_X13-05460.iso MD5: 7c3bc891d20c7e6a110c4f1ad82952ba en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_x64_with_sp2_cd1_X13-06188.iso MD5: 09F4CB31796E9802DCC477E397868C9A File: en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_with_sp2_cd1_X13-04790.iso MD5: 7c2e96e050d14def056e62d806da79e1 File: en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_x64_with_sp2_cd1_X13-05757.iso MD5: 384f54fbd0f3524d4cc262f5892de230 So yes, they do match the ones you posted, i did not generate MD4 and CRC, but am i right to believe that if the MD5 matches the rest will too? Why do you ask, do you mabe have the delta's for me VLK

Thanks to sebus, I was able to install Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 with the newly created disc 1 file and a CD key found on the internet, however, when I try to install the R2 Setup using the disc 2, it again asks for a CD key and no key seems to work with it . Thanks to another generous member vymrdal, I'm able to smoothly install R2 now.
