    how do I get windows activation back after installing key management role on a server...


    By accident, I added the key management role to a server running Windows Server 2022. I was working on the wrong server. I removed it immediately but the windows activation seems to have been lost. It now says not activated. This was formerly a "retail" or OEM version of windows, but now the channel says Volume MAK. I have the original product key but even when I clear the product key and input it again it still says I am in Notification mode. The message code I get is that Windows cannot access the activation servers. I thought that the original product key was supposed to identify t

    Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Manager Failed to retrieve the list of roles and components

    Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Manager Failed to retrieve the list of roles and components while I'm trying to Add roles and features.

    Also it doesn't give me a list from Windows Powershell (running as Admin): Get-Windows Features - ntProviderException.

    sfc /scannow, RestoreHealth, SFCFix.exe
    did not help.

    Help me, please!

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    AD Domain Controllers with Certificate Server role

    Hello all, I have a question I am hoping to find a clear answer to. I am planning to install AD Certificate Server role. I have read opposing views on where to install ADCS. Should I install this on a DC or a separate server altogether? If I add the role to a DC, will it replicate to the backup DC or do I need to add the role to both? Btw, this is a virtual environment. Thank you in advance for any input/suggestions/help.
