Hello,

I have found the option to buy a windows server license 2008 standard, it is installing now so hopefully I will get a desktop so I can start installing my software.

regards

Hello,

I just bought a dedicated server with Windows Hyper V Server 2008 installed. Did you buy a windows license from the dashboard?



thanks

Just got the error msg "An intervention is being carried out on this server, at the moment you can't perform a hard reboot yourself"
Do anyone know why i get this? i still have full access to the server and can connect to the remote desktop

EDIT: Got it working now

Hi

To have windows with an start menu, you would need to obtain an windows license. Once you obtain the windows license, you will be able to re-install the server as windows with the start menu.

Hello. Is there anyway or guide to install window 2008 R2 standard edition to the SYS servers KVM over IP? Because it is really hard to do anything with the Windows server 2008 R2 core without any start menu i cant do the things i need on the server.
