I have 5 Dell Poweredge R640 and R730. I used the same Windows 2016 Standard image to install the 5 servers.
When I use the command DISM /Online /get-currentEdition:
4 servers result:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1
Image Version: 10.0.17134.1304
Current edition is:
Current Edition : ServerStandardCor
The operation completed successfully.
Only one of them shows:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1
Image Version: 10.0.17134.1304
Current edition is:
Current Edition : ServerStandardACor
The operation completed successfully.
the 5 servers are registered with a Volume MAK channel
and when I try to update that server to DataCenterCore:
Command: dism /online /GET-TARGETEDITIONSDeployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1
Image Version: 10.0.17134.1304
Editions that can be upgraded to:
