Second Win Srv 2016 Essentials boots once a week - The Non-domain Member Check problem
We have installed two 2016 Essentials servers as a VM to VMware host using the same serial/license number. The DC works just fine but the other one seems to have a "The Non-domain Member Check " problem.
What can we do to solve this forced weekly boot?
The problematic server has these messages at the event viewer:

Thanks for quick and prompt answers. I allready closed this since I believe that this is all I need. Order a std license and 5 extra CALs
I am glad I could help.

I was so sure that you can have two installations when having Essentials but apparently it is not true if they are in the same domain.
So we just purchace a 2016 std license, What license exactly?
This:
MS 1x Windows Server Standard 2016 64Bit DVD 16 Core English (P73-07113)
or maybe even this (which is a bit cheaper):
HPE MS WS16 Std ROK EN SW (P00487-B21)
What steps do we need to do to provide the license code to the "XYZ-VM-NAV.XYZ.local" server in order to avoid any hazle?
Any potential CAL issues with this? I believe there are apx. 8 users for the XYZ-VM-NAV.XYZ.local server.
