I ha...Hello Neal and thanks for your quick reply, <br /><br />I have just solved the problem. The problem was caused during conversion of the physical machine to virtual. <br /><br />Unfortunately all the executables of the server management license tool inside the virtual machine were corrupted so I just copied the ones from the physical server and replace the faulty ones.<br /><br />Now the license tools are working properly and I can add backup transfer licenses without any problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476297308335389064.post-26637679874193507202012-05-02T20:06:31.526+01:002012-05-02T20:06:31.526+01:00Hi Peter,
Sorry to hear about your problem, my CAL...Hi Peter,<br />Sorry to hear about your problem, my CAL's all transferred without any issues so I have not seen this before. A couple of suggestions:<br /><br />The Server Management MMC console has several snapins and it might be one of the others causing the console to crash. Try just running the licencing part on its own:<br /> (click start-> run -> type "%systemroot%\system32\sblic.msc /s" (no quotes) and hit enter.)<br /><br />Another option might be to power on the original physical SBS server (make sure you unplug all network cables first!) and to try backing up your licences to a USB memory stick then copy the files to your virtual SBS and try to re import them.<br /><br />Also worth checking:<br />Are all patches installed and have you rebooted?<br />Check the hard drive of the source machine and virtual machine - you might have a corrupted system file from before/during the transfer which is the cause of the crash.<br /><br />Otherwise I'm afraid its down to google and any error messages you see. Good luck getting it sorted.<br /><br />Finally I *think* that SBS 2003 in *per user* mode does not enforce the licence count - eg it warns you repeatedly but does not stop anything working. Not ideal but as long as you have the licences to show the BSA if they ever pay a visit it would work - although you probably want to verify this before trusting it. Worst case scenario its only for 2 years and then you will have to move to a newer OS when MS stops providing security updates.Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01355923207788981464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476297308335389064.post-81965848620784949032012-05-02T14:11:01.239+01:002012-05-02T14:11:01.239+01:00Hi I just converter my sbs 2003 sp2 server to esxi...Hi I just converter my sbs 2003 sp2 server to esxi 5.0 . Everything are working perfectly except the licenses. On the physical machine we had 25 user licenses (5 + 20 add-ons) and unfortunately the 20 extra licenses were not transferred correctly. We tried to restore or add new licenses (on the virtual machine) through the server management without success. It’s giving me an error and open window for debugging. <br /><br />Do you have any idea how to add or restore licenses without the server management tool ?<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
