For some reason the SharePoint server was not able to use the Dynamic Memory feature. I looked on the host machine and there was plenty of memory available for the virtual machine.
Hmmm! This meant to me that the Dynamic Memory was not getting assigned to the server. I only saw the Assigned Memory displayed as 2048 MB. One thing I noticed was that on the Memory tab in the Hyper-V Manager, the Memory Demand and Memory Status readings were blank. I had configured the SharePoint Server 2013 to use Dynamic Memory in Hyper-V Manager, as shown below.
#SERVER 2012 ACTIVATOR WINDOWS#
Next I looked at the virtual environment because both my servers were running in the virtual machines in Microsoft Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2. I wasn’t done with my investigation quite yet. Everything looked normal up to that point, except that I was getting an error in the browser when I tried to access any SharePoint sites in that farm. I should point out that I only have one SharePoint server in this particular SharePoint farm. I looked at the Services Console (services.msc) on the servers and all the services that were configured to start automatically were in the running state on both the servers. I checked Internet Information Services (IIS) Server and it too was running fine with all the application pools started.
I looked at all the services on SQL Server and the SharePoint server and everything was normal. The message on the desktop was inaccurate.
#SERVER 2012 ACTIVATOR LICENSE#
The License Status showed the server was Licensed, which basically means it was activated. I ran slsmgr.vbs -dli at the command prompt that was started with Administrative credentials. I figured I will try another method to verify if the server was actually activated. Which one is it? It can’t be both at the same time. Either the server is activated or it is not. The Windows message on desktop was telling me to go to the Action Center and activate Windows but when I went to the Action Center it showed Windows was already activated. I looked at the System screen and it showed that the server was activated. My Windows Server is using the retail license.
I had to address this issue but activation is not something that expires. How can this be? The server has been running fine for a couple of years or so since it was activated. At least that’s what the message on my desktop indicated. I noticed that somehow my server became unactivated. However, when I logged into the SharePoint Server I discovered another issue that I needed to fix. This was the main issue that I had to fix. Recently I ran into a situation where my Windows Server 2012 running SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise stop allowing me to access any sites.
