Microsoft activatie “verkeerde” Windows Editie

server2012r2wrongproductkey

Wanneer je b.v. een Microsoft Windows Server Trial editie van Server 2012 R2 wil activeren (of andere Windows edities) kan je de melding krijgen:

That key can’t be  used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key.

De editie kan je opvragen, aanpassen en alsnog activeren met behulp van: “DISM”.

msiexecuninstall1

Vandaag moest ik wat oude software de-installeren na een Office 365 migratie. Het betrof hier Microsoft Office 2007 en aanverwante plugins. Echter, er zat er één bij welke ik niet kon herleiden. Hoe ga je deze netjes verwijderen via MSIEXEC door het juiste Applicatie GUID te achterhalen.
