Windows Small Business Server 2003 Serial Key

Active4 years, 4 months ago

Hello, Currently building an SBS 2003 server using a HP Proliant ML350 G5. I have installed the OS which accepted the product key from the customers existing sever, now i have come to activate windows the same product key is coming back as unauthorised. Checking whether product key will work with SBS 2003. Ask Question 2. We've recently absorbed a small company who had a Dell PowerEdge server running SBS 2003. For some reason, the hard disks have been wiped. Can't use Windows Server 2003 Dell serial key with normal Windows Server 2003 Standard Cds. Hi all, I have installed Windows SBS 2003 R2 Retail on one server, but haven't activated it yet. I have used True Image to clone a second server and now want to change the Product Key (on the second server) without doing a complete re-install. Forums Microsoft Windows Windows Server. Windows 2003 SBS activation. Discussion in 'Windows Server' started by mephistopoa, Jun 13, 2013. And we installed by mistake the standard SBS. Not the license key doesn't work and we simply can't rebuild the server again. Change Windows Server 2003 Product Key Sep 3, 2010, 10:37 PM -05:00 Changing Product Key on Windows 2003 (and SBS2003): I needed to change the product key on a SBS machine that was virtualized from an IT consulting customer’s machine. This article lists the services that are included in a default installation of Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. Note Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installations may include proprietary services that are not included in the following list of services.

We recently acquired a server that's been in use for a while, but no associated software, logins, etc. We attempted to blank the administrator account password, but that didn't work. We also tried some deeper edits on the password, but no avail there either.

Now what I'm looking to do is to re-install windows using the existing registry key on the server now. I've read that you can access the product key in the registry, and using the password tool (a linux boot cd) we are able to view the registry. When I tried this, I got the ProductId (Which version of windows), not the registry key.

The OS I'm attempting to read from in Windows Server 2003 R2.

Ok I was able to retrieve it using the following:

Download AC2T KeyViewer (http://www.ac2tech.com/tools/keyviewer/keyviewer.zip)

I used a password reset tool (Not sure what it was, it was just the one I've been using for years) which had a registry viewer on the boot CD. I navigated to

Once I got that value (its really long, about 12 lines of hex), enter the whole thing into the 'Raw Key' tab of the KeyViewer application. It should spit out your Product Key. Note, this does not work in some versions of Windows Server.

Another alternative I've found is the following powershell script:

In this script, you can replace the $value variable with the following:

Windows server 2003 key code
  1. Locate the memory locations 34 to 42 in the registry value above from the machine that will not boot.
  2. Convert each pair of numbers to decimal (ie. A1=161)
  3. Build an array with those values eg. $value = (161,..)

Running the script then return your product key.

If there's no OEM license sticker on the box (and surely there isn't, or you wouldn't be here), then the product key is obtainable from Microsoft's Volume Licensing Services site or perhaps even your reseller.

I'm not entirely clear if you were successful in clearing the administrator password.

This site ->http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm <- has to be the most useful one I've ever found for problems of old servers and machines where the password has been lost.

There is an excellent bootable Linux image you can download there which lets you reset the administrator password with simplicity. I've used it many times and it has always worked.

Once that's done and you can log into Windows we can tackle the problem of your Windows key.

You'll get it easily using a tool like BelArc or Magical Jellybean key finder.

Is this server a DC? There are ways to access the registry remotely, but those would need some type of credentials. If it's just a member i server, i suggest using a utility such as Change NT password to reset the account and pull the key using something like Magic Jellybean Keyfinder.

You should be able to run something like Magic Jellybean Keyfinder from a winPE disk.

I've always used http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ to pull product keys from the registry. You can also load keys from a remote hive for a non-running install. Either yank the drive and toss it in a working vista/xp/2003 box, or try running WinPE on the locked box and running from there.

I find it useful for figuring out what is installed on a server (so I can reinstall) and what keys I need to reinstall.
