Ondrej D 1

I need change product key on Microsoft Server 2019 Datacenter Evaluation Edition. But activating proces has finished with error without changing product key.

May be it is because of one update package, that server it not able to install.

Do You have someone tip how fix this problem (for example powershell parametre, which turn off instaling updates during activating proces. Or how remove this update package from front.

Thank you.

Hi @Leon Laude ,

I'm not sure I understand 1st question. I've ws2019 datacenter product key bouhgt from it company.

Yes, it is connected to internet

During reactivating proces, that start from powershell, is in powershell just something like "the specified file handle is not valid" and after restaring server it tries finist changes. This proces stop in sth. like 90%, when rebooting server write something like "It's not possible to finish changes, computer reverts changes."

Can you run the following and post the result here?
DISM.exe /Online /Get-TargetEditions

You may also try the following command:
slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
