Unable to activate windows server 2012 (0x80072F8F)

I seem to be unable to activate my Windows Server 2012 Essentials. All I recieve is the following message:
Windows couldn´t be activated
Go to Control Panel to learn about other ways to activate
Error code: 0x80072F8F
Error description: A security error occurred
This is a presisting problem and I can´t find any other way to activate in the control panel, what to do?

I'd double check that the date / time are correct.

  • How to activate Windows Server 2012 Datacenter evaluation version with product key provided on MSDN's student account

    Hi,
    I downloaded
    Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Version recently. Actually, I wanted to check whether i could run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Win server 2012 using my core2duo (Non-SLAT PC). Now i wanted to activate the evaluated version by using product key of my
    MSDN's student account. But its giving error when i enter my product key. I checked this article about converting evaluation version to full retail version. The article
    says :
    "If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additional
    domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version."
    So kindly guide as to how I can install this additional domain controller and how to remove AD DS from domain controller. Currently, I have Dual Boot PC( win 8.1 and win server 2012).
    Hoping to get a brief response....
     

    Unless you have configured a whole lot of things into the DC running on the evaluation copy (should never install production on an evaluation copy), it would be simplest to start from scratch and reinstall. 
    Or, you simply go into Server Manager > Manage > Add Roles and Features to remove the AD role.  Then you will be back to a workgroup server.
    The evaluation version is good for 180 days plus three re-arms of 30 days each.  So you can do a lot of experimenting with the evaluation copy without the need for using an MSDN key.

  • Activate windows server 2012 R2 after evaluation expired

    I installed windows server 2012 R2 evaluation version on 4 servers. The evaluation expired and the servers are shutting down automatically now. When I try to put the license key, it is not accepting it. I could activate some other servers with same license
    key; but before the evaluation time expired. I used the same media to install these serves as well. Kindly let me know if there is a way or workaround to make these servers licensed.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    Did the problematic Windows Server 2012 R2 connect to Internet when attempt to activate the server? Please also
    refer to Converting evaluation versions of Windows Server 2012 to full retail versions section in following article and check if can help you.
    Evaluation Versions and Upgrade Options for
    Windows Server 2012
    à
    When I try to put the license key, it is not accepting it.
    By the way, did you get any error message when can’t activate the problematic server?
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 R2; system aborts and reboots after first blue Windows logo appears

    System:  Dell PowerEdge sc1420 with dual xeon and Adaptec 2420SA SATA RAID (supported by OS); 10 GB memory (2x4, rank 2, organization x4, in DIMM1 & DIMM2; 2x1, registered, organization x8, in DIMM3 & DIMM4)
    This computer is currently running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise which was installed with no problems.
    Objective: clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on an otherwise unused RAID array disk set.
    All attempts to boot from DVD result in loading of files (grey progress bar on bottom of screen), brief dark screen, then black screen with a blue windows logo for about 2 seconds and then a flash of about 10 lines of error notifications on a black screen
    for about 1/4 second (unreadable), and then a reboot of the computer.
    Coreinfo.exe confirms that cpus DO support NX and PAE; do NOT support VMX (virtual machine enhancements).
    Attempts to run memtest.exe from boot disk tool-menu startup result in an error message that the memtest.exe file is corrupt.
    Running memtest.exe from Windows 2008 R2 install disk results in all memory tests passed!
    Attempted booting with multiple DVD's (some +R, some -R, all verified) burned from .iso.  These DVD's were used successfully to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on an HP Pavilion.  Also changed DVD drives just to rule out DVD hardware. 
    Running CHKDSK from Windows 2012 R2 on HP Pavilion shows no problems; running CHKDSK from Windows 2008 R2 on the Dell system on the same disks shows some problems.  Running checkdisk on the Windows 2008 R2 install disk from the Windows 2008 R2 installed
    system shows no problems.  All disks burned and verified on same system.
    Also attempted to boot from USB thumbdrive with copy of DVD on it.  Same results: system loads files then reboots at first Windows logo.  So that would rule out disk quality issues per se??
    Started to try an upgrade rather clean install to see if any errors were announced.  None were announced as the system went through much of the process.  I aborted somewhere along the way before committing to the upgrade because 1) the most likely
    outcome was it would not boot after install (I don't really need the practice in restoring); and 2) even if it did reboot, having a system that can't be repaired by booting the install disk is pointless.
    All disks and raid arrays are recognized and usable by RAID controller card and by Windows Server 2008 R2.  Disks are within spec for use with Adaptec 2420SA (1TB @ 300).
    Is VMX (aka VT-x) actaully required for ANY install even though Hyper-V is not intended to be used?  If so, it is too bad that the Microsoft system requirements (
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx ) don't make that clear.  And lack of VMX support really doesn't explain the memtest.exe "corruption" issue. 
    Or is it maybe something unique about the files on 2012 R2 disk (or disk image on USB) that are causing some problem with the chipset processing?  But why?
    My vote would be for the latter of the issues, but I have no clue why or if it is remediable.  Suggestions? 

    So here is what I think is the final understanding of this problem:
    First, one additional piece of important information:  The computer successfully moves into and through the Windows Boot Loader phase and succeeding phase ONLY for Windows 8.1 32-bit, but NOT for Windows 8.1 64-bit nor for Windows
    Server 2012 R2 (only 64-bit).
    The Windows Boot Manager phase (which precedes the Windows Boot Loader phase) is either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) and is loaded by the 16-bit stub program (Bootmgr) which starts in real mode. 
    Windows Boot Loader of course runs in either 32-bit or 64-bit (64 –bit for this case) according to the product being installed.
    By inference, the essential problem is occurring in conjunction with the loading of a WIM file to start the Windows Boot Manager. 
    The boot manager starts ok and generally shows its essential screens (Windows Boot Manager; Advanced Boot Options) or proceeds to load files for transition into Windows startup in the succeeding Windows Boot Loader phase (that doesn’t “boot” but rather
    loads the system).  This is best confirmed by the announced corruption of the memtest.exe file when selecting Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager Screen. 
    If allowed to continue loading files to pass control to the Windows Boot Manager, the type of abort and resulting immediate restart that occurs is that which you would associate with unhandled cpu exceptions (invalid instruction, memory out of range,
    wild interrupt, etc.) that most of us have not commonly seen for 20 years (since beginning to use well behave OS’s from Windows NT 3.1 and on).
    So, the problem obviously is due to a failure to properly mount the WIM file and/or properly access it (probably the latter) when running in 64-bit protected mode. 
    This is independent of the hardware on which the install disk is actually mounted (DVD or USB-flash), so it is NOT a hardware problem
    per se.
    Since the WIM is mounted early in the process, Boot Manager may well have loaded it using BIOS routines to access the physical device on which it resides rather than loading 32-bit or 64-bit drivers of its own. 
    Hence, if the BIOS does not “mount” the WIM in a way that is later fully compatible with access from the 64-bit systems being loaded, it could cause apparent file corruption. 
    If it is only partially incompatible some functionality may appear quite usable (like loading files) until later detected. 
    This is vague on my part, because the exact nature of the incompatibility cannot be readily determined from the information available. 
    But the consequence is the same: the system cannot boot from the install disk, either for initial installation or repairs.
    Incidental conclusion:  The 64-bit boot manager code for Windows Server 2008 does not exhibit this faulty behavior, but the 64-bit code for Windows Server 2012 does. 
    So the problem is not inherent with loading 64-bit server OS’s.
    Expectations:  If the system were to be upgraded using the features of the install disk while running an installed OS, say Windows Server 2008 R2, it might well succeed and yield a fully functional system upgraded to Windows Server 2012
    R2 (because the installed operating system is started from discrete files, not from a WIM file). 
    However, in order to perform a disaster recovery using Windows resources (such as image backups from Windows Server Backup), one would have to presumably boot from a Windows Server 2012 64-bit install disk or Windows Server USB recovery drive. 
    Of course we know that the Windows Server install disk will not boot and we can be fairly sure that the problem will migrate to any Windows Server USB recovery drive that is created. 
    My inspection of a Windows 7 System Repair CD shows that is based exclusively on boot.wim, not discrete files! 
    Of course a generated image for a WIM for Windows 2012 USB recovery drive
    might not have the flaw that drives this behavior, but it probably would.
    Problem conclusion:  A BIOS upgrade would be required for compatibility with Windows Server 2014 clean installation
    and any maintenance; and none is available from the OEM.
    Problem not resolved, but understood for future reference.
    Thanks to Tim whose comments helped me focus my thinking.

  • Unable to login Windows Server 2012 after making local policy changes

    Experts, we have modified the local policy setting on the windows server 2012 and badly it was domain controller now none of the users are able to login to the server. After entering the user name and password it will launch till welcome screen then it errors
    out saying user name or password incorrect. below are the steps which we followed
    1. Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options \Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos values change from Not Configured to DES_CBC_MD5
    2. changed user attribute msDS-SupprtdEncryptionTypes to 2 , this account we were used for kerberos authentication. 
    3. Logged off from the server and then server doesn't allow any user to login.
    regards,
    Jakk 

    Have you tried connecting to the server from a 2nd DC? Have you tried installing the RSAT tools on a domain member server and modify the offending policy ?
    last choice would be restart the DC into safe mode. 

  • Unable to Install Windows Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V

    My attempts to install are failing with a message "Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing....Error code: 0x800705070".
    I am posting this on the Wondows 2012 Server forum but I have had exactly the same problem as described below with Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
    As the title says this is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 host with all current updates. I have downloaded the ISO file from a Technet subscription file twice, once by direct download and once by the Akamai downloader. The virtual disk is connected with
    the default IDE driver. I mounted both installation images as ISOs, located on a file system on the host server.  I have tried installs by deleting the VM and recreating both the VM and a new virtual disk, re-using a previously created virtual disk, and
    deleting the partitions in a previously created virtual disk, and executing the format command, and then attempting the install.
    I have exactly the same problem trying to create a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM on the same host OS.  With those attempts, I downloaded the Technet subscription iso 4 or 5 times, and burned one to a DVD which I attached to the created VM.  Same
    error message.
    The virtual machines and virtual disks I created and used were all located on an RAID5 array, on a builtin Intel RAID controller using Intel Rapid Storage Technology software version 11.2.0.1066.  The host Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 uses this file system
    but the OS is installed on a dedicated drive (C).
    I had previously created a guest VM with Windows Server 2008 R2 (several months worth of updates ago) without drama.
    I have spent hours reading forums and blog articles on this.  A common response is to download the iso another time, and/or burn it to a DVD instead of mounting an iso image. Although I didn't do the later yet with 2012 Server, but I have done these
    other steps attempting to install Windows 2008 Server SP1. The install process takes a while (not to mention doing multiple downloads). Given this seems to be a common recommended remedy, and indeed based on posts does seem to eliminate the problem is some
    cases, why doesn't somebody change the Microsoft installer program so it does a thorough integrity check at the beginning of the install process?

    Jeff,
    After the exercise of Windows 2012 Server successfully installing (as I described above) I also successfully installed Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V.  From my standpoint, I have eliminated the problem (which isn't the same as correcting the problem).
    The answer to your specific question regarding Hyper-V support is that the motherboard I am using, an Asus P5Q, is not supported by Windows 2008 R2 because it doesn't use ECC memory, and the vendor doesn't say it supports Windows 2008. But I am sure you
    know the motherboard vendors often don't test older motherboards with newer software versions.  It appears that in specifying ECC memory Microsoft is trying to protect users of Windows Server from hurting themselves, not saying the software won't run.
    Having said that, my suspicion in the beginning was, and still is, that it was some variable(s) left in an unknown state in the Hyper-V environment, which was why after trying to install Windows 2008 R2 several times I tried Windows 2012 which resulted in
    the same error, and then encountered the same error trying to install Windows 7 on the same Hyper-V installation. The specific Hyper-V Windows 2008 R2 server had run without any operating problems for months before I started having trouble, and although it
    had been quite a while since I had created VMs, that process used to work.  The hardware didn't change. What changed was applying updates through Microsoft Update, and a few access control rights I changed, and at least I think, I set back to their original
    value.
    So in short, no, my hardware isn't supported by Windows 2008 Server.  Two, your assertion that you are running the same software configuration that I am is very unlikely to be true. There are an extremely large number of things which are different between
    your test system and mine, such as which Windows 2008 components are installed, what updates were installed and in what order they were installed, and what other third party software each of us is running, and between AD, and all the features, a large number
    of potential differences in ACLs, options, etc. and I don't for a minute think this particular problem was caused by the underlying hardware.
    I do appreciate your taking the time to try to help me, and I hope there is one thing you and I could agree on. Microsoft could pretty easily make it much easier to isolate problems. In this day and age reporting hex error codes (as opposed to doing the
    table lookup in the error handling proc), and not providing more diagnostic information seems to me to be almost quaint.  And in this case Microsoft can dismiss my problems on the grounds it was all on unsupported hardware. Unfortunately, I think they
    are missing an opportunity to make their software better, because in my opinion what I encountered there are a set of conditions which will cause installations to fail that aren't going to get corrected.

  • Unable to boot Windows Server 2012 after adding features (AD, DNS, DHCP)

    Hi,
    I'm installing a VM server 2012 and it installs without any problems. Able to boot it and login, I change the name of the server and restart it. Still no problem.
    Now when I want to add some features, Active Directory, DHCP and DNS, promoting to Domain Controller. Create a new forest and so on. When this is configured and installed the server wants to restart. It restarts but boots into a loop and ends up in System
    Recovery/Troublshoot. I have tried repairing the boot with bcdedit in cmd-prompt but not able to fix it. Same Issue in VMware and hyper-v manager on different hosts. Im thinking that the image is at fault, but its strange that everything works at the beginning. 
    Am I missing something? The image I'm using is from MSDN, Server 2012 debug checked with updates.  I'll try another image today, but why shouldnt that one work? 

    Hi Presaro,
    I’m glad to hear that everything is OK. Thank you for posting here.

  • Poweredge R730XD - unable to install Windows Server 2012 standard via DVD - limit progress via USB

    Hi all,
    hoping someone has encountered and sorted this problem.  I've had troubles installing W2012 on our newest batch of server - 4x R730XDs.  Either by deployment or booting directly by DVD I encounter the following message:
    "windows failed to start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
    So I wrote the iso for Windows to USB and booted off that which yielded this message:
    "We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
    A colleague recognised the message and directed me these instructions:
    Start DISKPART.
    TypeLIST DISK and identify your SSD disk number (from 0 to n disks).
    Type SELECT DISK whatever disk number you have.
    Type CLEAN.
    Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY.
    Type ACTIVE.
    Type FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK.
    Type ASSIGN.
    Type EXIT twice (one to get out of DiskPart, the other to exit the command line tool).
    It didn't work - the next and final message I have is:
    "An Operating System wasn't found.  Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system"
    As a last resort measure I pulled those disks out but no change to outcome.
    I've encountered these issues with 3 out 4 of the servers (I haven't bothered to install the 4th and last).
    To summarise the spec of the servers, R730XD - front drives fully populated with 24x 600GB SAS (currently not setup in an array) with additional 2x 300GB in a flex bay at the rear set to RAID1 for OS.
    Any suggestions or experiences appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    KCC

    Hi all,
    an update of sorts - we were able to progress futher by setting up a the RAID array for the boot drive inside of the Lifecycle controller (that aspect of LC I have avoided using for a few years due to lack of flexibility in creating multiple arrays).  Windows then installed as normal via deployment on 2 of 3 servers.  the third still exhibits the same issue.  We thought to perform a factory reset, if there such a thing, but am struggling to find such an option in the LC.

  • Unable to add File Server Resource Manager Tools on Windows Server 2012 - Errors on restart and roll back install

    Unable to install Windows Server 2012 Feature -  [Tools] File Server Resource Manager Tools.
    Installs, however when I restart the server error messages appears saying feature unable to install, windows reverting changes.
    In the Setup event logs have the following information message "Update FSRM-Infrastructure of package FSRM-All failed to be turned on. Status: 0x800f0922"
    Does anyone have any idea's on why this Feature can not be installed ??
    Scott

    Hi Shaun
    Tried both of your suggestions, however neither strategy worked.
    Strategy 1
    Tried installing via powershell - "install-windowsfeature -name fs-resource-manager -includemanagementtools"   
    Feature un-installed itself during the restart.
    Attempted to use the command "DISM /online /remove-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services".  However
    this did work because one the Service was'nt installed or two because there was no command option for "/remove-feature"
    PACKAGE SERVICING COMMANDS:
      /Add-Package            - Adds packages to the image.
      /Remove-Package         - Removes packages from the image.
      /Enable-Feature         - Enables a specific feature in the image.
      /Disable-Feature        - Disables a specific feature in the image.
      /Get-Packages           - Displays information about all packages in the image.
      /Get-PackageInfo        - Displays information about a specific package.
      /Get-Features           - Displays information about all features in a package.
      /Get-FeatureInfo        - Displays information about a specific feature.
      /Cleanup-Image          - Performs cleanup and recovery operations on the image.
    Strategy 2
    Tried installing via powershell, using the following command DISM
    /online /enable-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services, however got the same result, the install backed out during the restart.
    All up back to where I started?

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 License Concerns

    Hi,
    Good day.
    This is my first post, hopefully I am in the right forum to ask.
    I have recently transferred to a new job on a new company. There would be various projects also endorsed. One of them are upgrading of legacy IBM servers OS. They have already bought the latest Windows Server OS which is Windows Server 2012 R2 version.
    But during the transition the upgrade of OS was given to me, during the upgrade of IBM x346 server there were multiple issues raised (RAID drivers for x64). I was only able to install Windows 2012 Standard version, but our license only have Windows Server 2012
    R2.
    Can I use the license of Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2012? I do understand we have downgrade rights from Win2k12R2 to various OS like 2k8, 2k12 or 2k8 R2. But this is not a downgrade process. Can I simply input the product key to activate Windows
    Server 2012 with Windows Server 2012 R2?
    Hope you understand my question. Thank you.

    Can I use the license of Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2012? I do understand we have downgrade rights from Win2k12R2 to various OS like 2k8, 2k12 or 2k8 R2. But this is not a downgrade process. Can I simply input the product key to activate Windows
    Server 2012 with Windows Server 2012 R2?
    If you have purchased the license for WS2012R2, but wish to install WS2012, this is considered a "downgrade" of the license, and, this is usually a permitted entitlement. (it is not necessary to perform the technical installation of WS2012R2 and
    then technically install WS2012 - it is permitted to "clean-install" WS2012)
    To exercise this "downgrade right", confirm your entitlement to do so, and the entitled version/edition (via your licensing agreement).
    You will then need to acquire the installation media for the desired version/edition, and also, acquire the specific license product key to do so.
    You can acquire the relevant product key by telephoning Microsoft Product Activation Centre, and explain your scenario, that you wish to exercise your "downgrade rights" - you will be provided with a one-time-use Product Key for this purpose.
    Or, have I misunderstood your question?

  • Unable to uninstall sql server 2012 from Windows 7(ultimate) 64-bit SP1 version.

    I am trying to install sql sever 2012 on my m/c but it's giving me error after partial installation.
    Now I have successfully installed Sql Server 2008 R2 on my machine but when I am trying to uninstall 2012 sql server from my machine its giving an error regarding unsupported OS. However as mentioned earlier I have Windows 2007 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) installed
    on my machine which is included in valid platform for sql server 2012. Also I installed visual studio 2013 on my machine but it existed with error SqlServer\LocalDB not installed.

    Hi pritamk,
    According to your error message, as other post, you can uninstall SQL Server from command line, inaddition, another workaround is that change the compatibility mode of setup.exe to Vista SP2, then run “Remove” option from the control panel. You can refer
    to the following steps.
    Browse to your SQL setup bootstrap folder, For SQL Server 2012, this is the path "C:\Program Files \Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2012\".
    Go to Setup.exe file and right click on Setup.exe. Then go to properties and click on "Compatibility" tab. Under "Compatibility mode", click on Run this program in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)". Then Click on "Apply" then "OK".
    After that go to control panel -> Programs and Features -> and remove SQL Server 2012
    There is similar issue about uninstalling SQL Server 2012 RC0 from control panel. You can review the following post.

  • Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7

    Unable to install SQL Server 2012 along with BIDS & VS 2012 on Windows 7 professional.
    I get the below error
    Could not find vsjitdebugger.exe
    Blogs say anti-virus is stopping but I dont have one on the system.
    Note: I had used SQL 2008 on the system previously and has a refresh i have deleted all the software to speed up the system.
    Now i could not install both the software.
    Can I get some help regarding this?

    Hi Nandu,
    As your description, you come across an error(vsjitdebugger.exe cannot be found). Please confirm if the error occurs during the installation of SQL Server 2012.  If so, please help post SQL Server setup logs. By default, SQL Server setup log file locates
    in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Base on my research, this error could be caused by that the previous uninstallation is improper and vsjitdebugger.exe file could be mistakenly deleted.
    To troubleshoot the issue, you could start your computer into Safe Mode and fix your problem with one of the following methods. For more information, please refer to the article:
    http://www.fixerrorkit.com/fix-error/fix-vsjitdebugger.exe-error.html.
    1. You could execute the sfc /scannow command following steps below.
    a. Press "Windows+R", type in cmd and then right click "Run as administrator"
    b. Type in sfc /scannow (There's a space between sfc and /scannow) into the dialog and hit Enter key and click ok.
    c. Wait until the System File Checker finishes the check.
    2. You could use a Windows repair installation, also known as a Startup Repair to repair your Windows system files.
    3. You could install the latest Windows updates to fix vsjitdebugger.exe error. Microsoft often releases new service packs and system patches to replace or update some DLL files of Windows system.
    4. You could use third-party tool such as Automatic Error Fix Tool to fix your vsjitdebugger.exe error. However, Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party software or information found there.
    In addition, if you are unable to install  Visual Studio, I suggest you post your question in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=vssetup  . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
