Server 2008 R2 Standard Image

-

hi guys,

i purchased dell r510 running server 2008 r2 standard recently, upon inspection dell did not send me copy of os disk.

many phone calls dell revealed have stopped sending os disks customers , instead advise bare metal backup need.

i don't feel comfortable without os disk in case i ever need rebuild server scratch.

i have eval copy of 2008 r2 microsoft advise use non-eval media...

"question: can convert evaluation version full version?
answer: although this conversion not blocked, not support an upgrade evaluation version full version or changing product key full version key. upgrade full version, must install non-evaluation media. if change product key full version, visual evaluation references in winver and as displayed in slmgr /dlv output removed, but the wlms service remains on system , media retains evaluation status."

dell won't send me media no matter do! (believe me when have tried) so, how copy of non-eval media? 

i have second 2008 r2 license purchased upgrade 2003 dc again came without 2008 r2 dvd.

i don't understand how i'm supposed to install windows these days without media! please :-)
