Server 2003 Activation

I just upgraded a server from server 2000 to server 2003. Server is not a
domain controller. Just a standared workgroup server running terminal
services.
The windows activation screen appears and then the body of the box turns
white makeing me unable to activate windows. How can i resolve this before
the timer runs out and locks my clients out of the terminal server?

Thanks

Joe

 

Hello Joe,

Does the window open correct when using "oobe/msoobe /a" from command prompt
or ist it the same?

Best regards

Hello Joe,

I would call MS support and describe your problem. I think activation calls
are not to pay.
