Arumugham,

Try one more time .. this time think of a password that has:
1. At least 8 characters long
2. Includes a number
3. Includes uppercase letter (while the reast are lower case)
4. Includes a special character

For example: Pa$$w0rd123 would meet the requirements:
It’s 11 characters long, has 4 numbers in it (there is a zero between w and r), has one upper case letter and two special characters: $$.

Did it work this time?

I followed the same instruction you had said. But when i type the new password it says “unable to update the password.the value provided for the new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of the domain”..

i had been trying it many times but all in vain.
i have a doubt whether is there any special format for the password we type.
sorry i m trying out server for 1st time.

Chaitanya,
On the first window hit OK to change your password. Once you change your password (and the change was successful) you will get the second window that will confirm it.
Hope this helps.

When trying to install it, I get to the part where it asks which hard drive to install to, step #7 in your article above. It replies that it is unable to locate the correct driver. Tried it several times.

Sure appreciate any help.

How many workgroup computers are allowed on Server 2008 before additional licenses are required? We are now using XP Pro, which allows 10 workgroup computers to be connected to the server, but we need to increase that number. We cannot do it unless we upgrade to one of the Windows Server operating systems, or so I have been told.

Hi Ajay,

I think that the login and password that you’re need is the one that you create in Step 9 — in my article above.

After the first part of the installation process, you will be asked to create a login name and password. This is the login information that you need to remember in order to log back into the server.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Dear Gosia

Your article is just aheade of the time and always clear and simple.
I have played with Windows Server 2008 and I enjoyed the Security and the grate new features from it. I will be attending the event in Birmingham (UK) and I hope to see more out of this powerful operating system.
