Обновление ознакомительной (evaluated) версии Windows Server 2012 / R2 до полноценной

При запуске новых продуктов Microsoft выпускает так называемые ознакомительные (evaluated) версии, предусматривающие возможность оценить и протестировать возможности новинки. Это замечательная возможность широко используется всеми пользователями MS. Однако, в некоторых случаях системные администраторы успевают развернуть на таких триальных версиях продуктивную среду (особенно часто этим грешат с серверными версиями ОС), и соответственно по окончании периода тестирования, сталкиваются с вопросом обновления ознакомительной версии до полноценной. В этой статье мы рассмотрим процедуру трансформации ознакомительной версии Windows Server 2012 R2 (eval) в полноценную (full) версию.

Процедура конвертации ознакомительной версии Windows Server 2012 R2 в полную (full)

1. Откройте командную строку Powershell с правами администратора
2. Убедитесь, что на сервере действительно установлена ознакомительная версия. Получим текущий статус о версии и статусе активации Windows Server 2012 R2:

В данном случае видно, что используется ознакомительная EVAL (Evaluated) версия Windows Server 2012 R2 и до окончания срока пользования ознакомительной версий осталось 180 дней.
Далее необходимо выяснить используемую редакцию Windows Server 2012:

Строка ServerStandartEval говорит о том, что используется пробная версия Windows Server 2012 R2 редакции Standart.
Применим к ОС лицензионный MAK или KMS ключ (список KMS для ключей корпоративных версий Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8.1 можно взять тут). Например, так:

Процедура конвертации для контролера домена

В том случае, если на ознакомительной версии развернут контроллер домена (службы AD DS), при попытке проапгрейдить версию ОС появится ошибка:

К сожалению, проапгрейдить контроллер домена с ознакомительной версии без удаления роли AD DS не получится. В таком случае придется поднять дополнительный контроллер домена, передать на него все FSMO роли, понизить роль сервера, удалив роль AD DS. Затем выполнить описанную выше процедуру конвертации и опять поднять на нем контроллер домена, и передать роли обратно.

Thanks for posting on the TechNet forum.

>> Which of the 8 do I download. I think it is the bottom one. I want the DVD ISO.

I have noticed that your above versions are all about system center setup applications except the last one.

Here is the windows 2012 R2 standard ISO/VHD versions downloading link:

You could use the Microsoft mount ISO tool to mount the ISO image:

For win8 and above, the system could automatic open the ISO files.

Note1: The evaluate version has only 180 days for free use.

Note2: windows server 2012 R2 standard could only run 2 VMs by default.(one license=2 cpus =2 VMs & one license for datacenter = 2 cpus= non-limit VMs)

Note3: You need to buy CALs for uses or devices.
