Unable to activate windwos 2019 to my KMS server

Question

I have installed an eval version, managed to convert it with standard, and managed to install my KMS key.
For whatever reason, even after changing the activation server to my km server using slmgr /skms-domain with a successful prompt, my activation still fails. This is not the only windows 2019 in my environment. I am not sure what to do.

Answer 1

Hi @Mike

Error: On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069’ to display the error text.

Run following commands:

Find available target editions

DISM.exe /Online /Get-TargetEditions  

Change your target edition (bellow is example for Windows server 2016 datacenter)

DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula

Answer 2

I am aware after installing an eval version, the next thing to do is convert it non eval standard using gvlk. then, change the key with my vlk (kms). I am not sure if something is not done right. but this is the screenshot.

Answer 3

I managed to resolve the issue. I tried to double-check my key and it was the wrong key.
