Hi,
I am having the same problem on Hyper-V (the server version is Windows Server 2012). Can someone from the System Center team help out here?
Restating the problem:
Downloaded the System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 Eval vhd. After less than 3 weeks, an error is generated in the Windows Application Event Log saying that "SQL Server evaluation period has expired".
Event ID: 17051
Source: MSSQLSERVER
Level: Error
So, the SMS WMI Provider fails, which in turn fails the System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Console.
On the desktop of this virtual (i.e. where the SQL error occurs), in the lower right hand corner, it says "Windows License valid for 158 days".
Thanks in advance.
