      Trying to fix an issue with one of my Server 2012 R2 Enterprise servers. For some reason the key kicked itself out. Last time this happened I just open CMD with administrator and run slmgr.vbs /cpky and slmgr.vbs /upk and then manually reinstall the key. The /cpky command runs just fine but /upk gives me an "0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges" error. I've tried running this on local admin and domain admin accounts and sfc /scannow ran with no issues. Any suggestions?

        @Markferron Have you tried rearming the original key using the following command on CMD slmgr.vbs -rearm. Please run CMD as administrator maybe that might help as well.

          @ITivan80 Hmm...nope didn't work. Still giving me the 0x80070005 Access denied error. Oh I forgot to mention that I was running cmd as administrator as well.

            Try running a chkdsk on the system drive, who knows, there might be some corruption.

              You mean sfc /scannow? Or DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth?

              @op Check your event logs for more information, and try running the commands above.

                Nope, not what I meant... but those would be great additional tools to run.

                  Ran both, so far nothing, but I will run chkdsk tonight to see if that fixes anything. So far I can't find anything in the logs but I'll keep looking.
