Bashabi Sarker 81

Please look at my screenshot

I have recently run this command to update the windows server from ServerStandardEval to ServerStandard

DISM /online /ServerStandard:<edition ID> /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula

now i can see this on the command prompt . I cannot understand shall i manually restart the machine or shall I wait? Please notice the message on the bottom bar (i have highlighted with red arrow) of the command prompt.

Please advice

The last line in screenshot states

Restart windows to complete this operation

so I'd reboot it

Hi @Bashabi Sarker ,

You will be prompted (Y/N) to restart your Windows Server, it should look similar as in my provided screenshot below:

The operation might actually be ready, you can try by selecting the PowerShell (ISE) window so that it's the currently active window, and then press any key so that it updates the results of your recently run command.

Sometimes it may take a while, is your server connected directly to the Internet? Make sure your PowerShell (ISE) window has not been "paused", hence why I suggested pressing any keys within the PowerShell (ISE) window to see if there's any update.

Hi Leon

The server is connected to the internet. I am pressing the Y key. But nothing is happening.

I also noticed there are some difference with your provided screenshot and what I am seeing .

In your screenshot there is only one line of progress bar ; and for me i have been presented with several lines of progress bar.

and I have got the "Starting to apply edition specific settings" but have not got the message of "Finished applying edition specific settings" like you

I am really confused.

Give it a restart, it's surely done the change already.
