Re: install SBS2003 Trial - Update, reboot = "Expired"

Hi Bob,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you get the "Your trial
period has expired please purchase a full copy license" error message when
you install Windows SBS 2003, and you get the blue screen after you reboot
the server. If I am off base, please feel free to let me know.

Based on your description, I suggest you reinstall the system and if you
still receives blue screen, please follow the steps below to check whether
this is a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) issue.

1. Right click My Computer and click Properties.
2. Click Advanced tab and click Settings under "Startup and Recovery".
3. Make sure that the "Write debugging information" has been set as
"Complete memory dump". And the dump file will be saved as
"%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP".

After the problem occurs again, please open C:\Windows folder and check
whether the memory.dmp file exists.

If this is a blue screen issue, it is too complex to troubleshoot it in the
newsgroup. At this point, you have to contact our PSS support for debugging.

A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Product Support Services via
telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your
request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged
call. To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please
take a look at the web site listed below.
