Did you get your problem resolved? I have run into a similar problem trying
to upgrade from windows 2003 SP1 to SBS 2003. The upgrade apeared to be
successful, but when I try to login the first time after the upgrade I go the
same
This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can
continue. You cannot log on until you activate Windows. Do you want to
activate Windows now? message box.
I have HealthMonitor http://healthmonitor.zucchetti.com installed and it
emailed me the folling events from the event log.
EventID 1009 You have not activated Windows within the grace period. To
activate Windows, contact a customer service representative by telephone.
and then EventID: 1000 Faulting application msoobe.exe, version 5.2.3790.0,
faulting module urlmon.dll, version 6.0.3790.2612, fault address 0x0000618c.

I can't remember hearing of this behaviour previously. You can hang around
and wait for another response, MS may have advice to offer, but personally
I'd be on the phone to support. You have several reasons why this would be a
free call. They may ask for CC details but I expect not.

I just ran through the upgrade from Window 2003 SBS R2 to Windows Server
2003
R2 using the SBS 2003 R2 Transition Pack. After it was all done and
rebooted
the last time, I can't log into the server due to an activation problem:
When I log in from the console, after accepting an validating the password
it shows a dialog reading:
This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can
continue. You cannot log on until you activate Windows. Do you want to
activate Windows now?
To shut down the computer, click Cancel.
[Yes][No][Cancel]
Yes and No have the same effect - get a saving settings message and then
returns to the Enter Ctrl-Alt-Del to logon dialog box. Cancel shuts down
as
it says. Nothing actually lets me activate over the internet nor gives me
a
way to activate over the phone, just logs me out.
During the installation I entered the new Window Server Standard product
license that comes in the transition pack and said yes to activate and
register. Everything else went fine and the upgrade proceded through all
the
steps and reboots (I didn't have Backup Exec installed and didn't
experience
the problem described in KB 914990).
The system seems to be running fine otherwise. Exchange and OWA appear to
be working, for example. Trying to logon from Remote Desktop has the same
problem.
I really need to get this fixed fast but I don't know what to try from
where
I am.
