This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue
Hi guys
After P2V Windows 2003 Storage Server 2003 x 64
I get this message "this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue."
and I am not able to connect to the server and I can not activate because the NETWORK card won't work - since without vmware tools.
no idea why this is happening?
VMware converter 5
Thank you very much
This can happen due to the material Exchange when you P2V. Is there not an option to activate by phone? If this is not the case, take a look at the virtual machine settings to see if the NETWORK card is 'E1000' which should be recognized by Windows 2003 out of the box.

Lately, I'm getting this system error a lot now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro is an event DistributedCom 10016 ID. Here is the text of the error:
The application-specific permission settings do not local Activation permission for the COM with the CLSID server application

Anyone has an idea why I get this error?
WaltSame thing here. Grayed. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the observer of events with many more errors than previous versions.
Edit: OK, discovered why it is grayed out. There are 2 reg key, you must set permissions before going to the Configuration of DCOM in component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.
From another forum, although it applies to a different application, same principle:
1. open Regedit.
2. go in HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\ * CLSID *.
Note: * CLSID * stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it is {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
3. right-click on it and select authorization.
4. click on Advance and change owner to administrator. Also click on the box that will appear below the threshold of owner.
5. apply a full control.
6. close the tab, then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\ * APPID *.
Note: * AppID * is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case, it is {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
7 right-click on it and select authorization.
8. click on Advance and change the owner to administrators.
9. click on the box that will appear below the line owner.
10. click on apply and grant full control to the administrators.
11. close all tabs and navigate to the administration tool.
12. open component services.
13. click on the computer, click my computer, and then click DCOM.
14 find the corresponding service that appears on the display of the error.
15. right-click on it, and then click Properties.
16. click the Security tab, and then click Add a user. Add the SYSTEM and then apply.
17. check enable local.

Microsoft 2003 installation/reactivate/activation
Dear Microsoft Answers:
This is regarding the Microsoft Answer sent/replied on June 21, 2012 from Dan at IT Associates. Dan to associate IT recommended/suggested that I do the following:
From an account with administrator privileges:
1. go to c:\documents and settings\your_user_account\desktop and either:
(a) copy / paste the desktop shortcuts in this folder on matching funds to the other two accounts records
OR
b cut-and - paste the Office subfolder and/or shortcuts in this folder at c:\documents and settings\all Users\Bureau
2. go to the menu c:\documents and settings\your_user_accounts\start and either:
(a) copy - paste the Office subfolder and/or shortcuts in this folder on the corresponding files for the other two accounts
OR
b cut-and - paste the Officesubfolder or shortcuts in the folder c:\documents and settings\all Users\Menu.
Sign out and then sign in as each of the three users to check that the start menu has the same Office subfolder and/or desktop shortcuts that had your user account, and that the Office shortcuts to the Office programs that were on the desktop of your user account.
On my other accounts two user, the yellow folder with the following shortcut for WI... is displayed. On my user account, the big W appears within a white square inside a blue border. On the Start Menu shortcut to WI... words appear next to the Microsoft Word icon. Why the same does not appear in the Start Menu on my other two user accounts? On my user account, Microsoft Word appears on the display both ways.
Sincerely
KathyNortonKS
Microsoft provides guidance on profiles which are new and information moving from the old profile to the new.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151
Shortcuts tell you the actual file is elsewhere and the actual file information is shared. You can create your own copy of the shortcut (for example, the shortcut for send to) and delete the shortcut and your menu send to this user will be considerably different from the others.
When you want to change the Start Menu, it is possible to navigate to "programs" and locate the shortcut that you want to display on the Start Menu. To add Microsoft Word from the start menu, try this: using your mouse, right click on the shortcut in the programs in office - says Microsoft Office Word - and select the "Pin to Start Menu" or the same way, "Pin to the taskbar.
The menus are highly configurable.

Hi all
I just had on the phone speaking to the people of Microsoft online help. After some discussion and blaming 'SLUI 4' (according to instructions), I am still unable to validate (activate) my legal copy of Windows and the Lady on the phone told me to come on this forum to help! ~ (What joke Microsoft management!) ~ She said she was unable to help because my copy of Vista is an OEM version and she said I need to contact the manufacturer. I said, the manufacturer was no longer in business, so now what? She said to go on the forums. So here I am!
Also, I think the first why I cannot now turn on Vista it's because the PC has had a few different hard disks over the years and during the summer I had to replace the power supply that the original has stopped working. I had a similar problem with another PC a few years ago and it has been easily resolved on the phone speaking with MS online help, but now's done it a lot more difficult for me (using this forum) that I am dyslexic and find writing and reading indeed very laborious.
In any case, I have reviewed the above and tried a few things, but none have worked for me. Then, please, make my life livable explaining what can I do to activate my Vista in simple terms?
Is received the following message when you try to validate my copy of Vista after a clean re-installation:
"The product key you entered is already in use.
Reasons can be: a new power supply & different hard drives have been installed by myself.
Please, please help!
Best regards & thanks a lot, a lot.
November 10, 2015.
Hi all
As indicated, I wiped the hard drive, re-partitioned and formatted just to make sure he was completely clean and there is no hidden bad guys or persistent files corrupted, etc.. I then reinstalled Windows Vista, did a few main, graphics drivers updates, etc and then tried to 'turn on' online.
The bad news is that it still not be accepted and once more displayed: "the product key you entered is already in use. So, I was a little irritated but not totally surprised, because if there is one thing that I've noticed over the years that Windows operating system are very compatible with their annoying messages! ~ However, this is not the end, read on:
As you do on these occasions, I thought then of what could be done then that I have not already tried? ~ Well I have to say now that my reason to reinstall Vista is not because I have no desire burning back somehow, it is finally to Windows 10. But before I could do I need to install a "Windows 7 Upgrade" I bought in 2010 when my son was in college.
This got me wondering if the message could be related in some way, to upgrade? Twenty minutes after that, my son came into the room and offers exactly the same thing! Without hesitation, I installed Windows 7 Upgrade and tried to validate online and hey-presto it worked!
So, for anyone else having similar problems with a re-installation and who have also used a version upgrade of Windows later, is probably the answer ~ if all else fails. Thus, 14 lb hammer remained in the garage!
I am glade to say that the problem of Vista activation/validation is now resolved, even better Windows 10 is installed.
A big thank you to all who tried to help with this annoyance.
Best regards

Best way to upgrade of domain Active Directory from 2003 to 2008
I have a specific situation. I need to upgrade an AD 2003-2008r2. We are not comfortable making the leap for 2012. Basically, the original design was 5 offices of each with a domain controller. Each domain controller has a file share, but also the "Users" folder I thought up starting with the new servers side by side. DCPromo the 2008r2 new servers to domain controllers. What is the best method to move the file shares and files users in this case? Once files are moved I can then DCPromo down servers 2003 and raise to the 2008 field. All IP addresses are static throughout the environment. He didn't design this way... but having to deal with it.
This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers) -

Activation of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.
Original title: «Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 "+"Virtual operating system licenses"»I have a Dell PC with Windows XP installed and a CD to reinstall Windows XP. I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and created a virtual machine and install Windows XP on the virtual machine using the CD. Now I need to activate Windows XP on the virtual machine. I guess I only have this copy of XP is installed on one physical machine, and the virtual machine is on the same machine that I have the right to install and activate the copy of Windows XP on the vritual machine. Is this correct?I have not activated the operating system on the virtual machine in case I am not allowed to activate it and attempts to activate it cause problems.Another reason, that I have not activated the operating system is because I have installed antivirus software on the virtual machine and I am reluctant to connect to internet with it until I have, or know whehter I need. Outside the activation of XP I won't need internet access on the virtual machine. Is this enough to antivirus on the host computer in order to prevent the infection from the virtual machine?Thank you in anticipationHello

Outlook 2003... I have an email account set up on multiple computers in our office. However, even if my email address is the same on each computer, my Inbox receives many messages on each computer.
In other words, if someone sends me, how did I get the message on a computer, but not the other? Also, when I send an email, I can see it in my folder 'sent' on this computer, but there is nothing there on another computer.
All of my accounts are configured as POP3 accounts. Does it matter?
Thanks for the help.
