Install windows server 2008 r2.

Hi, I have a server that came with a windows server 2008 r2 license, in the form of a sticker. The server came with a wiped hard disk, so no OS. It also didn't come with an installation cd, and all the guides i have found on installing assume that i have an installation cd. i have several large cds and usb that i can burn if i have an iso, but where would i get an iso for the server? i have looked everywhere but i cant find any.

Then you'll need to explore the other options. if you have a VS subscription or possibly access to volume center I'd check those. Also try here.

and ultimately the OEM is bound under contract with microsoft to provide support for the products they sell.
