I have the same exact issue. I have the Standard Server Eval on a few machines. Contoh soal psikotes kerja. One the 180 day trial ran out and the others did not. I bought 2 retail Standard Server software at about $700 each and the Product Keys do not work on the eval. I have spent time installing and configuring many things like SQL and RDP with bought licenses and now I believe one of the commenters is unfortunately for me right. I have to reinstall from scratch.

Does anyone have a solution? Its not a domain controller. Maybe because I have a feature installed like HyperV or something that it wants a datacenter product key? Hi Guys i have the same issue with an evaluation edition and i have already installed Active Directory (DC1), i have put up additional DC (DC2) installed with retail server 2012 Standard and configured it, transferred all FSMO role to DC2 and made it a DNS Start of Authority and Name Server left it overnite to replicate, run netdom query FSMO and returned that all roles are on DC2. When i switch off DC1 i cant access Active Directory Users and Computers. When i switch it back on everything works fine, is there anything i am missing or evaluation is hard coded and ADDS and DNS cant be transferred to another server, what other ways do you recommend that i solve this issue Regards. It worked for me on a domain controller running exchange server.

Even though it is not a good idea to use evaluation products on production environments, Microsoft should put into consideration that these scenarios may occur with inexperienced IT admins and people should have a way out.
