Windows Essential Business Server 2008 R2 build 7224

Windows Essential Business Server 2008 R2 build 7224 is an unconfirmed build of Windows Essential Business Server 2008 R2, which was supposedly uploaded to the Chinese website BetaWorld on 12 January 2023. According to the information on the BetaWorld Wiki, the system will not cause a BSOD, when a timebomb is triggered, but only tells the user that the activation period has expired, and additionally displays the words "This copy of Windows is not genuine" in the lower right corner. The Virtual Host Server SKU requires a password change and immediately after installation goes to the desktop like a regular Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition installation. The Messaging Server and the Security Server SKUs are forced into the installation setup window after installation, but the user will be stuck in the domain join option and unable to continue (domain join required), and after choosing to cancel the setup, the window will prompt the user to close and still won't go to the desktop and perform other operations. The Management Server SKU cannot be used due to image corruption (over 80% of data was corrupted). The user can also skip entering the product key on this build.
