Guest Ray234 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I have a user that was trying to open their PST file in Outlook, and it was showing that it could't be accessed. I tried to RDP to the server, and it gave me a message that "This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can login... Do you want to activate now?". I clicked cancel last week when it happened, and it rebooted the server. All was fine after reboot. I clicked No today, and it logged off the RDP session. The user still can't access the PST file, and I can't RDP to the server. It is several years old, so it's not a new installation issue. Any ideas?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Windows must be activated. Hello Ray234, Some time ago MS added license keys to the list of "cracked" ones. Maybe yours is also on it. I would phone MS support to clear it. If you have a correct license it will not be a problem. ..pst files on network drives are not recommended or supported from MS. You will get problems this way. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297019 Also make sure that the .pst is not read-only.
