Hi treininghaus,

I tested the same ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019-essentials and it worked fine (both with key and without) on multiple Hyper-V virtual machines.

Did you try re-downloading the ISO? It might be that it got corrupted somehow, also try to mount it from a local drive.

Best regards,
Leon

Hi Leon Laude.

Thank you for the quick test.

I downloaded an iso from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019 and managed to "burn" it to an USB Flash drive. The installation went flawlessly.

I will retry the download of the Server Essentials.

Best Regards

Thomas

I did this and it still won't register the trial license. Something I do wrong? What ISO burn program did you use? treininghaus
