Hi Craig, the VM was created using the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, May 2012 image. First command returns ERROR: The parameter is incorrect. Sppsvc: AcceptPause=FALSE AcceptStop=TRUE Caption=Software Protection CheckPoint=0 CreationClassName=Win32_Service Description=Enables the download, installation and enforcement of digital licenses for Windows and Windows applications.

If the service is disabled, the operating system and licensed applications may run in a notification mode. It is strongly recommended that you not disable the Software Protection service.

I think there's a problem with Task Scheduler service.

When I open the Task Scheduler console, I get this error message: Task Scheduler service is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it. When opening the SoftwareProtectionPlatform I got the error message once again and there no SvcRestartTask there.

I can see an Error in Event Viewer related to the SPP: Task Scheduler failed to load task ' Microsoft Windows SoftwareProtectionPlatform SvcRestartTask' at service startup.
