Hi,
I bought an HP server (830582-425) a few months ago and I would like to run Microsoft VDI on it.
I ran the coreinfo.exe command on the server and these are the results (attached)
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

Coreinfo v3.31 - Dump information on system CPU and memory topology

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v4 @ 1.70GHz

Microcode signature: 0B00001E
HYPERVISOR * Hypervisor is present
VMX - Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT - Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)
The snip indicates Intel's name for SLAT is there: EPT

Hi, thank you for responding. You're both almost right. The server spec does say it supports SLAT/EPT and the EPT is listed in the snip but Coreinfo.exe -v has a - instead of a *. The - indicates the the feature is missing but * should indicate the feature is installed. I suspect there is something I need to do to enable it but the virtualization BIOS settings are all enabled.
VDI uses Hyper-V. If there are VMs up and running then VDI will work as that's all VDI is: A pool of Remote Desktop Session Hosts or Windows Desktop OS VMs.

Thanks Gents!
Patrick, I have already seen the link you are referring to and that's what brought me here. coreinfo.exe is hiding the EPT/SLAT feature from the OS. I have tried the fix suggested. Checking the BIOS etc. All virtualization settings are correct. I was wondering if I might be missing something else?
According to Intel it does support EPT.
