Server 2008 Activation delay
Hi guys, We have yet to activate Server 2008 SP2 due to incorrect purchase order (ordered R2). Will we lose any functionality on the OS due to lack of activation in the mean time? Thanks.

Hello, how long and why will you wait? Use phone activation if you don't have internet available. With slmgr.vbs -dlv you can see the current status and the reactivation time untikl you are full activated.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

As mentioned, the incorrect version was order. We have 2008 SP2 installed but 2008 R2 was ordered so product key is not valid for activation. We need SP2 as that is what has been installed and tested.

Hello, you can contact Microsoft or you reseller and request the downgrade key in short time. There is no problem in using Windows server 2008 when a Windows server 2008 R2 key is bought.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
