This blog's focus will be on the Active Directory suite of technologies. These technologies provide the underpinning for the majority of Microsoft's suite of business-ready products. As such, this blog will touch on all aspects of Active Directory including Security, Group Policy, Kerberos, Authentication, Authorization, Operations, Migrations, and Troubleshooting.

Feel free to join me as I learn about this core set of technologies.

How to Activate a Windows Product License Key on Windows 2008 R2 Server Core

In a previous demonstration I promised to show how to activate your Windows Product License Key on a Windows Server Core machine.  I forgot to do that, so I’ve created this brief video to do so.

Essentially, you do everything through a Visual Basic Script called the Windows Software Licensing Management Tool (slmgr.vbs).

For a complete description of the available switches when working with slmgr.vbs, you can check out the following TechNet article:

Slmgr.vbs Options

Sorry about neglecting this in the previous video.  Hopefully now everyone is caught up.

Until next time…
