Product activation error 1000 code 80070002

[Guest Marcus Bentley]

I have a remote domain controller that has been in place for around 2 1/2

years that suddently a little after midnight this morning started coming up

with this error.

It is installed with a volume license media, with the same product key as

around 60 other servers on the same network.

I don't want to jump in doing stuff as the server is a fair distance to get

to if I do something to trully stuff it up. Not excluding the fact that there

is around 500 GB of user data to restore if it goes wrong.

 

Does anyone know what causes this kind of issue?
