Hi Saleem, Is this a Windows server 2008 R2 evaluation edition? If so, you need to uninstall the evaluation software and reinstall a fully-licensed version of Windows Server 2008 R2.

Hi Brent, If this this was still a question, I'd propose that as an answer. I quote from the link you referred to: "After this time, you will need to uninstall the evaluation software and reinstall a fully-licensed version of Windows Server 2008 R2." from the horse's mouth.
