-

problem:

after installing hyper-v rc0 via windows update, on next boot windows server 2008 standard 64-bit host reports activation error 0xc004e002. 

steps reproduce:

1.  install windows server 2008 64-bit standard (msdn iso x14-26714)
2.  do not enter license key or activate (default install method part number, running in trial mode)
3.  perform windows updates, including hyper-v rc0
4.  add hyper-v role , perform initial setup of hyper-v
(note: order of steps 3 , 4 can switched, makes no difference)

5.  shut down server
6.  boot server next day
7.  when see ctrl-alt-delete prompt, log in @ console
8.  receive activation error follows:


----

windows activation

an error has occurred

you can contact microsoft phone resolve problem (link vista genuine web site)

code:
0xc004e002

description:

i have repeated on several clean installs on 2 different hardware platforms different variations of peripherals , drivers (installing drivers, using windows default drivers, etc.).  installs runs fine version of hyper-v supplied on dvd, rc0 update installed error occurs.  this can occur whether there virtual machines configured or not. 


the occurence , type of error seems related how user attempts first login @ console. 


workaround:

after receiving ctrl-alt-delete prompt, wait @ least 10 minutes before attempting log in server.  if receive error again, reboot , repeat step (waiting @ least 10 minutes before logging in) until normal log in achieved.  if normal log in achieved, system behaves until next reboot. 

additional errors may seen (less common, , seem occur randomly instead of above error):
