The Server reboot by himself
We review the hardware logs, but we did
not find any hardware exception in BMC log, we ask customer what OS is
installed, customer confirm Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Trial Version
From the Microsoft web page we can
find out that the trial version has limitation after the trial period finish
the server if the license is not activated the OS will reboot or power off by
himself every hour.

Customer need to apply the license
key for the in the OS and run the full version, after we help customer to
active by command line the OS, the server didn’t reboot again.
We use the next command to active
the license:

if the OS version is not the corresponded with license the system can enter
bootloop, need make sure that the OS version and the installation media is the
same with the license key.
