The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliant check cannot be completed, the server will automatically shut down in 9 days 23 hour(s) 30 minute(s).

how is the procedure for register correctly the licence?

Can you provide unedited ipconfig /all output from this machine and also domain controller?

 

 

Hello,

Please proceed like that:

• Each DC has one IP address in use and one NIC card enabled
• Choose a healthy DC / DNS server
• Make each DC points to the chosen DC as primary DNS server
• Make sure that each DC / DNS server points to its private IP address as secondary DNS server and 127.0.0.1 as third one
• Make sure that needed ports for AD replication are not blocked: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/active-directory-replication-over-firewalls.aspx

Once done, run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon on each DC you have.

For the server, make it points to internal DNS servers as primary and secondary DNS servers.

Use nslookup to make sure that all is okay with DNS resolution.

Also, make sure that needed ports for AD authentication are not blocked:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd857231.aspx

If the problem persists then disable all security softwares that you have and check results.

Hello,

This server probably runs Windows 2008 Foundation. If this is true, it is recommended that you contact the OEM regarding this issue because Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation system have some limits on licensing that may affect the configurations of your AD, such as the number limitation of users and trusts. If your configuration is not compliance with these limits, you may receive this error.

If its a ordinary Server 2008 system, please try the instructions Mr.X and Dave provided and let us know the output.

Thanks

I have the same issue (Windows Server 2008 Foundation R2). The message above is displayed once a month, server is blocked, only "shutdown and start" helps, It is very confusing because the sever is not joined to domain, it only works as file server (only this role is installed)

Could someone please point this thread to an updated page since

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/foundation.aspx is a 404?You know if the server used to show the microsoft.com pages supported redirects, someone could redirect pages any time pages are removed....oops their server does support redirects, they just never bother to redirect anything allowing tech's around the worl search for hours to find stuff that google and other engines claim are one place that Microsoft removed.

Uhhhh by the way, I ended up here because I was looking for the page listed in the url performing a search for other related things that I had hoped would be answered in the page listed in the missing url.

This thread (question) was answered more than three years ago so you'll need to start a new thread.
