This is a very time consuming task that can be avoided, if a in-place upgrade can be completed successfully Microsoft and other community blog post would recommend that you either create and new server or download the VHD from Microsoft Azure and perform the upgrade on a local Hyper-V installation. I have successfully performed several upgrades for customers throughout the last couple of years. But thats only my idea.Microsoft currently doesn’t support in-place upgrade of Windows operating systems running on virtual machines in Microsoft Azure. i think it should be enough because the activation shouldn't take long enoughįor a attack on this specific ports, and a mini linux VM with iptables infront of your win server vm should be enough. If its only a matter of an internet connection then U are quite right but i would like to add a software firewall and open only a few needed ports. Get 180 days and then you can rearm for another 30 days - if you connect it back to the internet.
But if you follow the first steps I gave, you You can rearm three times, so you could get a total of 40 days. It will rearm for 10 days, and the same thing will then happen. Gave the VM access to the internet until it activated, then removed the network.Īnother option is to use slmgr.vbs to rearm the evaluation copy. When I have had that happen, I created an external virtual switch on a network that had access to the internet. Why don't they let us know about this critical need for activation when we download the iso? After 10 days, the VM is expired and I am unable to activate it. Since I wanted to isolate it, I used an internal network. I downloaded the Eval iso and setup a VM. Once it done, we can cross check the time period If you run in to any issues here, restarting the KMS Service can help ((" net stop sppsvc" and " net start sppsvc").
Now you can install the new Windows 2012 R2 KMS key. If you have installed Evaulation version and unable to use KMS key then Try mentioned link, it is very helpfulĭISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:D2N9P-3P6X9-2R39C-7RTCD-MDVJX /AcceptEulaĭISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:W3GGN-FT8W3-Y4M27-J84CP-Q3VJ9 /AcceptEula I have already downloaded it and checked it, it is working fine without issue.
