D365(VM) -server auto shutdown issue- Fix

First issue: I was encountering the VM-server2016 datacenter, auto shutdown issue tentative every 2 to 3 hrs.

Reason: The Window server 2016 datacenter evaluation version has been expired, hence Server will auto shut down due to this reason (In my case), thus, unable to do the complete D365- full compilation/re-build package because it will take more time and before complete the re-build the server 2016 auto shutdown.

Solution: update valid the window server 2016 datacenter product key in VM/OS.

Second issue: unable to update the product key ion VM/OS. 

             When trying to update the product key through “activate window” button.

 Probably, I was getting the below error because of server is running in evaluation version.

Solution:

Prerequisite: Must have window server 2016 datacenter valid product key.

Step1: go to command prompt (CMD)àRun as administrator.

 Step2: paste the below command along with product key and press enter 

DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-8XDDG /AcceptEula

After upgrade product key, notification has been disappeared

And visible the new product key.

After the product key upgrade, will not find the server auto shut down issue and able to perform the complete AX re-build J

Note: D365 (VM/windows 2016 datacenter) will upgrade only in window server 2016 data center
