Hello All,
I had a problem about a month ago with a similarly built server
Basically, the ASR restore completes but Windows is a default state when it returns with a login box that takes only Administrator w/o password, no domain selection, etc. Then once I click to login tells me Windows needs to be activated.
I assure you this is not how it was before the restore and we have done a couple of successful restores on the Win2K3 platform. One thing in common between this server and the last is that there is a Dell tools partition on harddisk0\partition1
The OS is loaded on harddisk0\partition2
Does anyone have any clue why this is may not be restoring successfully?
Here is the message that is appearing after the restore is completed and the server reboots
Windows Product Activation
This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue.
you cannot logon until you activate windows yes no cancel
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions or comments!
