Windows 10: Windows 10 in Azure Virtual Machine Activation Problem 0xC004F012

I started a Virtual Machine with Windows 10 on Azure. But I can't personalize the Windows as I get the info:





Troubleshoot doesn't fix the issue.

Azure Virtual Machine VPN

Can you ping the server from windows 10 by name?

If so then try mapping a drive in file explorer to a share on the server.

But the best would be to create a storage account in azure and create a file storage then map to that on your server and windows 10. Much easier and you don't need VPN for that.

As for windows 10 not seeing the server in Azure.

Turn off your firewall in win10 and see if it that helps.

Also did you join the windows 10 machine to the azure AD?

 

Azure Virtual Machine VPN

Hello,

I am attempting to set up a shared drive on a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2016 that can be accessed through a VPN from 3 separate locations.

I have set up a Point to Site VPN by following the tutorial on Microsoft's website. Both my local machine (running windows 10) and the virtual server are successfully connected to the VNet. However, the local machine cannot see the server under "networks".
The odd thing is, the server can see the local machine.

I have gone through the advanced sharing settings multiple times, the server should be discover-able. I cannot find a good example of anyone trying this online. I have tried turning off the fire wall on private networks just to see if that could be preventing
anything. I can Remote Connect to the server via it's private IP address, but cannot seem to make it visible to my computers network. I'm feeling a little out of my depth here, so i apologize if i've left out any crucial information.

TL;DR: is it even possible to map a shared drive from a server via VPN, if so any suggestions on why a server, connected through VPN, would not show up under networks?

Thanks,

-JE

 

Convert Windows 10 Activation to Virtual Machine

I currently have an activated version of Windows 10 on my desktop. My needs have changed and I am going to be moving to a Linux host on my desktop with a Windows virtual machine. Given that Windows 10 activation is based on your hardware, I'm not sure how
to go about doing this. I understand that virtual machines have a unique identifier that can be used for this process (since I only want one virtual machine running on my one desktop).

Has anyone successfully done this? I own my copy of Windows 10 and essentially want to change to a new computer (which happens to be on the same physical hardware, but within a virtual machine). Any suggestions?
