IDR restore error, windows 2003 server

600321648
Level 2
I'm new to supporting backup exec at my site.
I'm currently testing version 10.

After restoring from tape, when the computer boots and I login using the local Administrator account. I get the following:
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?

I click "yes" and then get:
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code 0x80004005.

I was running with version 10 rev 5484 with no patches applied.

I did not find any hits for this error for version 10. I thought my next step should be to update to most current patch version, and am not sure what the most up to date version is. I see there is a Service Pack 1 so I know I need that, then there are patches listed.

How do I tell what patches are in Service Pack 1?

When looking over patches for any version of backup exec, does patch 23 contain all the fixes for patches 1-22 also?

I'm trying to grasp how to make sure I have a up to date version of Backup Exec.

Thank you for the response.

I have applied SP1 for BE 10.

I did a full backup of my Windows 2003 server (no service pack) and created a new IDR CD.

When doing the recovery I selected "automatic".

I am still getting the error:
"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code 0x80004005".

I get this error restoring to same exact hardware.

I have applied SP1 for BE 10.d and all other SP-s.

I did a full backup of my Windows 2003 standard R2 server with all updates and created a IDR CD.

I have getting the same error:
"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code 0x80004005".

I get this error restoring to same machine.

What can I do?

Best regards,
Misi
