How can you get the server to tell you how much time is left on a Windows Server 2008 evaluation installation?

Run the Slmgr.vbs script that is in the System32 folder. Use the -dli switch to run this script:

slmgr.vbs -dli  

The command displays the number of days that are left in the current 60-day evaluation period.

  • I have to wait until this evening to try it, but look for the green check mark sometime before UTC midnight (bust the cap!) if it works :)

  • Thanks Joel! But it's not a problem. I will not reach the cap today. I like moderating more than hunting for points at the moment.
