Unable to install Windows 2008 R-2 eval version

$
0
0

I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 R 2 (64 bit) on a Dell Laptop.

I downloaded evaluation version of Windows Server 2008 R 2 ISO image from MS site and I burned it to a DVD using burn image feature of windows 8 (right click on ISO file and choose burn image)

In order to boot my laptop from this DVD  I changed BIOS mode from UEFI to Legacy and changed the boot sequence to try first from DVD. When I save changes and do a restart, I get a message saying "no boot device found". I also tried with another DVD where extracted version of ISO image is burned, same result.

Can someone please help me here?



OOBE unattend answerfile not applying with WDS Server

$
0
0

I have been working on setting up a WDS server for awhile now I've got just about everything working the way it needs to except the unattend answer file that applies to the image I'm deploying.  I have followed many walkthroughs but nothing has worked so far. I can get the WDS client windows answer file to apply just fine so I don't have to do anything until the image is installed. 

I finally found that I can apply the unattend.xml file during the sysprep process and it works beautifully through that way. That would lead me to believe the answer file is set up correctly. 

I add the exact same answer file to my image through the wds by right clicking on my image I want to deploy, select properties, clicking the check box to allow image to install in unattended mode and then I select the appropriate file.  When I try to deploy that image it doesn't apply it at all, and I get no errors.

It doesn't seem that there are very many steps to apply the answer file so not very many things should be able to go wrong.

The WDS server is server 2012 and I'm trying to deploy a win7 image both 64 bit.

MDT 2013, failed to join domain with error " The account *may* already exist in a different OU "

I used MDT 2012 for deployment of Windows 7 for several years. Now I am in a new company, set up MDT 2013/ADK to deploy Windows 7. I would like to say " MDT 2013 is rubbish for Windows 7". mayb it's perfect for Windows 8/10. I usually get failed to join domain with error " The account *may* already exist in a different OU " in MDT process. Checked the logs, error is 0x54b, which means no such domain. It's bullshit, I can join domain manually any time. AND, sometimes can join domain successfully.

I think it should be a bug of MDT 2013. Will go back to MDT 2012.

Two profiles in boot loader

$

0

Hi,

I am deploying a VHD on a SD card to boot a WIndows 2012 R2 server. I followed this procedure:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee731893(WS.10).aspx

When I boot my VHD I get an error "\Windows\system32\winload.exe" Status 0xc000000e. When I then boot on the repair I notice that the bcdboot command created a second entry in the boot manager with my correct values. But there is also a {default} profile without a partition value in the osdevice parameter. As the {default} profile is assigned to boot per default, it generates this error.

I can resolve this by removing the default entry in the repair on the booted VHD with BCDEDIT. But I would like do prevent this or correct it in my VHD file before it is started. I don't see any way to do so. 

Thank you for your help!

Note: for some reason this behavior changed because I already deployed a server like this about a year ago with exactly the same procedure and then I didn't had the error. The only difference I can think of is the version of Assessment and Deployment Kit I now use (Windows 8.1).

Root Certificate Authority and Top level Domains

Reaching out to all of you for an answer to a question I am having problems finding the answer to.  Perhaps someone here has had experience in a similar situation.  So here it is.

We are wanting to stand up an enterprise root certificate authority in or organization.  A simple single forest/domain that has its roots in the days of NT4 and therefore is a top level domain.  All DC's are 2008R2 and operating at that functional level.  Anyone here have any experience with standing up a root certificate authority in a top level domain and if so what, if any, catch 22's should I be looking out for?

Thanks for your help!

WDS 2012 R2 Sets wrong default boot image for x64

$

0

Hello:

I have a hard time believing that no one else has reported this, but am unable to find an answer. The net effect is that we are unable to set an x64 boot image for our x64 BIOS clients. The settings work for EFI but not BIOS. I have confirmed that the settings are correct with wdsutil and being applied to \RemoteInstall\Tmp\x64{guid}.bcd. However, the default image in \RemoteInstall\Tmp\x86x64{guid}.bcd is the default x86 image not the default x64 image. I don't see an option to change the behavior besides disabling showing both architecture images for x64, which will not meet our needs. For reference I am putting out put of wdsutil show config and bcdedit enum for the relevant BCDs below.

Thank you to anyone who has an idea on how we can fix this behavior.

Would appreciate any suggestions that don't involve doing a detailed documentation capture of how the server is configured followed by a clean install, that is what I'm trying to avoid if possible.

I am not trying to do anything special or scripted, just a standard OS upgrade.

Transfer KMS Server (2012 R2 to 2012 R2) with OS and Office 2013/2010 support?

$
0
0

I am looking to migrate a KMS server from one 2012 R2 server to another. Reason is we're getting rid of the server KMS is on now since we no longer need that server taking up so much space. 

Am I correct in that this is the right approach? If not, please advise any recommended corrections:

Steps on "old" KMS server that will be decommissioned:

  1. Gather the partial product keys that are installed, and find complete keys online, note the full keys
  2. Disable DNS publishing by running "slmgr /cdns"
  3. Uninstall KMS keys by running "slmgr /upk"
  4. Clear keys from registry by running "slmgr /cpky"
  5. shutdown the VM of server and wait until approved for deleting 

Steps on "new" KMS server":

  1. Run "slmgr /upk"
  2. Install KMS key for 2012 R2 Standard/Data edition (from the Volume licensing website for our organization) by running ?slmgr /ipk <the kms key from volume licensing website>. 
  3. Activate with slmgr /ato
  4. Disable DNS publishing
  5. Update existing _VLMCS DNS record manually to point from old KMS server to the new KMS server hostname. 
  6. Restart Software Protection Service with command "net stop sppsvc && net start sppsvc"
  7. Download and install both the Office 2010 and Office 2013 Volume License Packs and install and add their KMS keys from our Volume Licensing website?

Cannot get WDS Server to PXE boot pc's to deploy Windows 7

$

Hi I've searched the topics, but can't seem to find an answer to my particular problem.
I am trying to set up a WDS server to deploy Windows 7 on our network.
I started from scratch, installing Windows server 2008 R2 (Datacenter), I installed the WDS role (including Deployment and Transport Server).   Once installed, added a boot image. We have AD and DHCP on another server on the network. But when I try to PXE boot from a client PC, I get a 'No boot filename received' error.

Are there any other prerequisites needed? In all the the guides I've looked at, they don't say anything else is needed, but none seem to mention anything about PXE itself, is that all installed when WDS is added?

Thanks

Graham

 

PXE is OK, WDS is KO : Error 0x00000001

Hi,

My PXE/WDS was working fine :

PXE/WDS Server on the same vlan as DHCP

Workstation on a different VLAN

I changed the VLAN for the workstations, since then I can boot on PXE with no issue but i get a 0x00000001 error.

I don't think it's a driver issue, because it was working well on the former workstation VLAN.

I tried to import the drivers as described here with no luck.

I think this is more of a routing/firewall problem. Any idea on how to investigate this problem ?

Thanks.

SMSPXE.log   - https://mega.co.nz/#!xpdmTAYS!VilJu-a6YmyF-7iFHGywQy4D4m2Dfu28q-_XUoRYsYY

I have tried everything from removing the DP role from the server removing the bootimages and rebooting and just seem to be going round in circle have spent nearly 2 days on this now/
