Server 2008 (NOT R2) no longer genuine..this is a DC..need help RRS feed

  • Question

  • We had a working DC a couple weeks of ago but now when we login it keeps asking for a license.   So far we have tried the following in the order listed:

    1.  disabling the Plug-n-Plug

    2. changing the security on the Plug-n-play via gpo

    3. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978305  resetting the permissions in the registry.

    4. http://social.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/genuinevista/thread/9b1e5560-bb0c-493c-a5bf-0e7e03b86538/ resetting the tokens.dat

    Still no go and getting an Error code of 0X8007000D when running slmgr.vbs -ipk

    If I run slui and then try changing the code to a KMS code I get the same error as above.  I then tried running the MGADIAG and the output is below.  I have tried both using a known good KMS key and also a known good MAK key.   Really need some help here.  Thanks

    The problem appears to be with the Licensing Store....
    Please try the below steps to recreate the Licensing Store files. This may resolve the issue.

    1) Open an Internet Browser window.
    2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
    3) Find the file CMD.exe
    4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
    5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes - or it may say that it's not running - this is OK)
    6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
    7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
    8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
    9) Type: net start slsvc
    10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)

    Reboot TWICE
    If necessary, then you may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate.

    Reboot

    Once complete, please post back with a new MGADiag report

  • Rebooted twice and still no go.  This was the same thing that I did in Step 4 from the beginning.  It does ask to Activate as soon as I login and once I put in ANY known good key (KMS or MAK) it gives me this error:

    Windows Activation Error:

       A problem occurred when Windows tried to activate.  Error Code 0X8007000d. 

    and here again is the MGADIAGs but this time using a MAK key:

    I’m not sure about MAK Keys, but KMS Keys rely on the presence of a SLIC table in the BIOS to validate the fact that the installation is an Upgrade, rather than a clean install.
    If this is the case with MAK Keys also, then that may be the cause of your problem.
     
    There is also a file mismatch present -
    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\linkinfo.dll[Hr = 0x80070002]
    Please look for the file, and see if it exists – if not, then try copying it from another system and pasting into the affected one – an SFC /SCANNOW may also be able to accomplish a repair/replacement of the file.
     
    Darin (the MS forum owner) may be able to throw more light on the BIOS subject, but in  the meanwhile it may be worth trying a BIOS update/refresh to see if that helps.
     
    In summary, then...
    1) try an SFC to repair the file mismatch – run an MGADiag report, and see f the mismatch is fixed.
    2) if not fixed, then try copy/pasting from another system
    3) If that fixes the mismatch, but the problem remains,  try the Licensing store recreation again. – post another MGADiag afterwards.
    4) Try a BIOS update, and post another MGADiag.

    Doing a little digging, it appears that a linkinfo.dll file is also implicated in a number of malware infections.
     
    When was the last time you ran a full system AV scan on the machine? Is it possible that the file was removed by a false-positive detection by the AV?

  • Solved this:

    File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\linkinfo.dll[Hr = 0x80070002]

    Turning on Desktop Experience per:

      http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946397

     I then turned reset Plug-N-Play back to Automatic, did all Microsoft updates and loaded the new Proliant Service Pack.  Then I was able use a MAK key again.  Weird.  Not

    Please post a new MGADiag report – there is no way that the Desktop Experience should affect the WGA status (at least, that I am aware of) – what made you try it?
