Hi,

with the recent release of Windows 10 we are trying to deploy the new version to a few virtual test machines via PXE. The OS images are provided by an SCCM 2012 R2 instance and everything works perfectly fine if you run it outside of Hyper-V. If you try to PXE boot in Hyper-V you get the following error:

This was not entirely unexpected and in the past this could simply be bypassed by temporarily disabling the "Enable Secure Boot" option for the VM in question. This work around has also been wide spread across the net for earlier versions of Win10, e.g.: http://deploymentresearch.com/Research/Post/441/Fix-for-installing-Windows-Technical-Preview-via-PXE-on-Gen-2-VM

However if you try to apply the same workaround now you simply get the following with no additional information:

Has anyone figured out a solution for this problem yet?

Our test environment includes:
- SCCM 2012 R2 SP1
- Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V installed (plus latest updates)
- Boot image is Windows 10 Enterprise (release version, not preview)

Best regards,
Christian

Hi Alex,

thanks for the link. So what you are saying is that Windows 10 is simply not yet supported and that's why it does not work yet for PXE boot on Hyper-V? Not entirely sure what changed because it worked a couple of months ago with the technical preview. But of course a preview is a preview and things can still be removed or added again along the way.

Anyone aware of any plans as to when this will be supported? Or any other workarounds?

If not I guess we will have to stick to the manual old way of doing it with just mounting the ISO and installing it manually on our Hyper-V hosts for now.

Best regards,
Christian

Hi Christian Gutjahr,

As far as I know, there don't have the offical voice indicate the Windows 10 will as the supported guest on Server 2012R2, If the KB list it, it always means the use scenario is not tested, but may it will supported later time and not now.

Best Regars,
