Favourite OS Windows Server 2003 Itanium
So I'll get to the point. I'm about arms deep in a HP Integrity RX2620 in terms of sweat and money and come to find out my product key is not playing ball, I cannot proceed with setup. I've tried calling the Microsoft Activation Center since the disk is an old MSDN disk. No joy, I was told to contact a local technician and could not get another phone number
Any tips or advice?

I'm not sure where or how to find the unattend.txt. Would this be on the disk?

Found it!!! I at least have the product key in the unattend.txt file for the disc!
What a relief to have a starting point. Thanks guys!
((P.S. For those who are wanting to know the same thing, I had to copy the ISO from the MSDN disk onto my desktop, burn it to a cd, and THEN look in the IA64 folder to find the unattend.txt file! HEADS UP!))

I know poking this is a bad Idea but:
It worked, they key in the unattend.txt worked for me!
