Guest John Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Guys I am in the need of some assistance. I have a client that has a server that was so fouled that it needed a format and reinstall the problem is that my copy of Server 2003 standard 5 client has a huge ass scratch in it and I am unable to use. Now here is where it gets bad I talked to the OEM and they are unable to provide me with a replacement disk and when I go back to Microsoft I am told to go back to the hardware vendor. I have the COA sticker on the server itself I just need the media to install from I have tried every version that I have from my subscription but the OEM key will not allow installation anyone know where I can get a copy or give me any ideas on how I can go about this preferably without having to buy another retail copy of the OS... Thanks All
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: OEM Windows Server 2003 Hello John, For OEM the hardware vendor is responsible. They have to provide you the disk. What kind of hardware vendor is it?
