I guess your prayers have been answered. In modern builds of Windows 10, you can get information about activating Windows from the Settings app. In Windows 10 and Windows Server 2022/2019, go to Settings then Update & Security and then Activation. Or, you can run the ms-settings:activation command for quick access to the desired section of ms-settings. There are many forums now capable of telling you where to get and how to activate reddit windows key correctly. This is a great help for novice users. Thanks to those who share their knowledge on such forums.
Compute Engine providespublic images with Windows Serverthat you can use to create instances. For instructions on how to create aWindows Server instance with SQL Server preinstalled, seeCreating SQL Server instances.
To create an instance with Windows Server, specify the imagefamily for the specific version of Windows that you need.Compute Engine offers several versions of Windows Server, most ofwhich are available asShielded VM images.Shielded VM images offer security features like UEFI-compliantfirmware, Secure Boot, and vTPM-protected Measured Boot. For a list of theavailable image families, see publicimages.
If you need more than two concurrent remote desktop sessions, you will need topurchase Remote Desktop Session (RDS) Client Access Licenses (CALs). For moreinformation, see License your RDS deployment with client access licenses(CALs).
If you plan on using Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with your new instance,make sure the instance name is no longer than 15 characters, to meet the statedmaximum name length restrictions of the system.
AD uses the NetBIOS names of machines, which are generated as the instance nametruncated to 15 characters. As a result, you might encounter the following errorwhen trying to sign in as a domain user:The Security Database on the Server does not have a Computer Account for this Workstation Trust Relationship.
If you want to turn off the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM),clear the Turn on vTPM checkbox. The vTPM enables MeasuredBoot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For moreinformation, seeVirtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
If you want to turn off integrity monitoring, clear theTurn on Integrity Monitoring checkbox. Integrity monitoring letsyou monitor the boot integrity of yourShielded VM VMs using Cloud Monitoring.For more information, seeIntegrity monitoring.
--no-shielded-vtpm: Disable the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM). The vTPM enables Measured Boot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For more information, see Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
--no-shielded-integrity-monitoring: Disable integrity monitoring. Integrity monitoring lets you monitor the boot integrity of your Shielded VM instances using Cloud Monitoring. For more information, see Integrity monitoring.
enableVtpm: Enable or disable the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM). The vTPM enables Measured Boot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For more information, see Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
enableIntegrityMonitoring: Enable or disable integrity monitoring. Integrity monitoring lets you monitor and verify the runtime boot integrity of your Shielded VM instances using Cloud Monitoring reports. For more information, see Integrity monitoring.
Before you can create a Windows Server instance that has only an internal IPaddress, you must verify or configure routes and firewall rules in yourVPC network to allow access tokms.windows.googlecloud.com. Additionally, you mustenablePrivate Google Accessfor subnets in your VPC network that contain Windows instanceswith only internal IP addresses.
Because this instance does not have an external IP address, you cannot connectto it directly over the Internet. You can connect from another network connectedto your VPC network by usingCloud Interconnect orCloud VPN,or you can first connect to a bastion instance over RDP and then connect to theinstance that has only an internal IP address.
Your Windows instances must be able to reach kms.windows.googlecloud.com(35.190.247.13) through a route whose next hop is the default Internetgateway. You cannot activate Windows instances using an instance based NATgateway or Cloud NAT because kms.windows.googlecloud.com rejectsactivation requests from IP addresses that are not confirmed to beCompute Engine instances.
You can use the default route in yourVPC network to route traffic directly tokms.windows.googlecloud.com. If you remove this route, or if you plan to do soin the future, create a custom staticroute with destination 35.190.247.13 andnext hop set to default Internet gateway:
Either the default route or a custom static route as described above will permitinstances with external IP addresses to reach kms.windows.googlecloud.com. Ifyou have Windows instances without external IP addresses or usingCloud NAT, you must also enablePrivate Google Accessso that instances with only internal IP addresses can send traffic to theexternal IP address for kms.windows.googlecloud.com (35.190.247.13).
The implied allow egress firewallrule allows instances to make requests and receive established responses. Unlessyou have created custom firewall rules that deny egress, your Windows instancescan communicate with kms.windows.googlecloud.com.
If you customize firewall rules, it's a good practice to create a high priorityegress allow rule that explicitly permits communication with 35.190.247.13.This way, as you modify your firewall rules, you won't accidentally disableWindows activation.
Windows instances experience a longer startup time because of the sysprepprocess. The Google Cloud console might show that the instance is runningeven if the sysprep process is not yet complete. To check if your instance hassuccessfully started and is ready to be used, check the serial port outputwith the following command:
If you have Windows instances with image versions v20170509 and later orwith agent version 4.1.0 and later, you can set instance configurationin a config file or inproject or instance custom metadata. The config file is inINI format,and is located at the following path:
One benefit of setting these parameters in the config file is that thosesettings persist when you create a custom image for a Windows Server instance.Instance-level custom metadata does not persist beyond the life of the instance.
Normally you use an instance of internal load balancing to directnetwork traffic to one VM instance at a time. If you adda second instance of internal load balancing that uses the failoverclustering VM instances as part of a load-balanced website backend,you would have two internal load balancing IP addresses. If failover clusteringuses 10.0.0.10 and the website's load balancer uses 10.0.0.11,you must specify the IP address of the load balancer that you use for failoverclustering. This disambiguates which address is in use for the cluster.
Older images do not use a config file and only have a subset of features.Image versions between version v20160112 and version v20170509, orWindows agent version between 3.2.1.0 and 4.0.0 require you to use thefollowing custom metadata values:

Duke students are entitled to one free upgrade copy (total, across all devices) of Windows while enrolled. Additional copies are not allowed. These are not volume-licensed copies, and they come with product keys. Once Windows is activated with a product key, it never needs to be re-activated. Students may continue to use this copy of Windows after graduating.
Volume Activation is a product activation technology that was first introduced with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. It is designed to allow volume license customers to automate the activation process in a way that is transparent to end users. Volume Activation applies to systems that are covered under a Volume Licensing program and is used strictly as a tool for activation and is in no way tied to license invoicing or billing.
KMS is the default method of activation for all Duke windows users, and should be used whenever possible and/or applicable. Windows should activate automatically if connected to the Duke network or VPN.
Duke agreement with Microsoft only permits the installation of these versions of Windows on faculty and staff members' home computers for work at home purposes. The installation must be performed by your department's IT staff, or you must have written permission from them to install it on your home computer yourself for work purposes.
While not highly restricted, we ask that if you connect to any Duke network on a regular basis that you use the KMS method of activation. If you are having difficulty activating via KMS, please try to troubleshoot the error before resorting to the MAK. We have a limited number of MAK activations available. You may request a special MAK by e-mailing si...@duke.edu. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by OIT. Students graduating or leaving Duke may not request a MAK to keep KMS-activated copies of windows activated once they leave Duke.
The KMS thinks that you are trying to install a volume-licensed version of Windows on a computer with no operating system present, which violates the license agreement. The solution to this is to update the BIOS.
This problem occurs if the KMS server does not find a valid Windows marker in the ACPI_SLIC table in the computer BIOS program. Either the marker is corrupt or not present. Updating the BIOS should fix this. To update the BIOS, go to the computer manufacturer's website, most probably the driver download section, and download and install the latest update for the BIOS. The OIT Service desk should be able to help you with this. 919-684-2200.
