problem installing Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Evaluation

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=8371
I'm trying to install the trial software.

When I was prompted to enter a product key for activation, do not enter a key.
I click on no when Setup asks me to confirm my choice.
I was invited to choose the edition of Windows Server 2008 I brought to assess.
I select the edition that I want to install.
If I do not select or check the box for "I choose the edition of windows that I purchased", the next button will be

disabled.

Should I select or tick the box of "I choose the edition of windows that I purchased" if I want to fair assessment

the software instead of buying?

    I would like to know how to install Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 Enterprise from a USB key, please.

    I'm not trying to run either on the USB key, I just need to know how to install from a USB key. I tried Multiboot, grub for DOS and other, but they do not seem to work :/

    I am going through a book that uses these two to form Microsoft MCITP: Server 2008 Administrator and if I could install these Via USB, this would save my records and a lot of hassle... basically just for convenience, as everything that I need will be on a stick * lol *.

    Otherwise, I'll have to use discs instead :)

  • Download manager for Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days)

    Hello

    I want to download Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days). Walker I click the option given on http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19994, it starts to download the software without any download/Transfer Manager. I'm the challenge is stopping the download due to any reason (I don't know if it's the internet connection problem or what else)... and when it starts again it starts with 0%, i.e. all the stuff downloaded until then are all is lost.
    Is there any download/transfer manager that I can use, which will resume the download in case of problem mentioned above?
    Kind regards

  • Task Scheduler in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition

    We have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition by using the Task Scheduler to run 4 tasks on a daily basis. Recently, we have applied the Microsoft updates and restarted the server, and now the scheduled tasks do not work with the field. It says logon failure: unknown username and password incorrect (0x8007052E). The domain administrator credentials (or domain administrator credentials), we applied initially used but it still does not work, but it works with the local administrator account. A new task was created by using the credentials of the domain and the task could not start showing the username and password wrong. I studied unsuccessfully Microsoft Knowledge base. Please advise on how we solve this problem?

  • Windows Server 2008 Enterprise upgrade of 2008 has beaten the bad standard

    Hello

    I installed a virtual server for production of Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x 86/i386, support of license Volume and MAK), because I needed some additional features in the Enterprise edition.  During the upgrade process, the server hung a few times, requiring a "hard reset" to continue the installation (which seems normal for the installation of Server 2008 on this virtual hardware).

    However, after the installation is "complete", the server seems badly broken: the local view is empty, with a mobile mouse pointer.  Remote Desktop connection with takes a long time (more than an hour!, even after additional restart), to go beyond 'Application user settings', and once connected, the basic points are broken: starting server manager reports that it might not activate a plugin whose GUID I can't find in a web search, open the 'centre' of the network shows a blank window by typing "NET START someservicename" or 'SC START someservicename' hangs rather than launch this service or signals an error.

    Anyone know how to get out of this quagmire, short copy the latest data and wiping the hard drive?

  • Hard drives not found when you try to install Windows Server 2008

    Hey guys and girls,

    I've spent the last 20 hours, trying to solve the problem of not being able to install windows server 2008 r2 on a new Dell server.

    My configuration is:

    Dell PowerEdge R310

    4 x 1 TB 7.2 K SATA HDD

    Controller Raid PERC H700

    I can't even install the drivers that I downloaded from the Dell support site because Windows Server 2008 Setup will not recognize them.  These factors include the Raid Controller, chipsets Intel, SATA etc.

    I used the settings default, all changed the Auto Off Ports and vica versa, I put the server in Raid and ATA mode with all the possibilities, but it will be will not detect any HD!

    Please help, as it is essential for my health, employment and mental health.

    Best regards

    Sami L.

    What OS?  What RAID controller?  How many discs?  The size?  RAID level?

    I can't assume that everything is the same, especially when you have a different system altogether which does not support the H700 (so the files would have been meaningless even if Dell had not broken links). :)

  • Impossible to install windows server 2008 on virtual machine

    Hello

    I installed vmware 9 without any problems, but when I create a virtual machine and I want to install windows server 2008 on it, I see this error:

    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host supports Intel VT - x, but Intel VT - x is disabled.
    Intel VT - x can be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or host was not powered by bicycle since changing this setting.
    (1) check that the settings BIOS/firmware activate Intel VT - x and disable "trust execution."
    2 turn on the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.
    (3) turn on the host if you have not done since the installation of VMware Workstation.
    (4) update of the BIOS/firmware from the host to the latest version.
    For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

    What can I do?

  • ESXi 3.5 and when trying to install windows server 2008

    I installed ESXi 3.5 on my server and successfully created a first virtual computer on which I am trying to install Windows server 2008 standard. I use VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5 from a Vista machine to access my virtual machine console.

    Installation of Windows server is an ISO file located in the root directory of the ESX Server data store. Everything went well with the installation until one last server restart showed a screen stating "the password must be changed before logging on the first time' by clicking on 'OK' present a login for 'Administrator' screen, asking me to enter a password for the 'new' and 'Confirm password '.

    Any attempt to enter a new password results (up to 14 characters, mixture letter & number) in a message "unable to update the password, the value provided for the new password does not meet the requirements of length, complexity or the history of the area.

    As far as I know, I'm not usig a specific domain, have never been able to access Windows server 2008 to create an admin account. I don't know how to solve this problem. I am new to VMWare and Windows server 2008.

    Any suggestion to move forward and allow me to have access to the server via the console?

    Thanks in advance for your help, Claude

    This isn't really a problem with VMware, but more of a problem of Windows 2008 password complexity requirements.

    The account that she is not asking that you must change the password is the local administrator account.

    And you have tried in upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters?  Something like Win2008!@#$ maybe?
