Here is a neat trick that allows you to extend your 60 day trial period on Server 2008 and probably other Microsoft prodcuts as well. I know it works with Vista too for sure. Anyway all you have to do is open the command prompt and type slmgr.vbs -dli
A windows will pop open giving you the current status of your evaluation period. This is really important because you do not want to run the next script until the end of your 60 day trial period. Now type slmgr.vbs -rearm. Important you can only reset the trial period 3 times, thus allowing you to extend your evaluation period up to 240 days. Hope this helps!
Till later
