I had a similar issue with HP server and 2016 Eval. &nbsp;<br />
Ended up getting an iLO trial license, putting iso on network share and mapping DVD to it, RAID drivers on USB (recommend Fat32), then using iLO remote console, ran provisioning and chose manual install. &nbsp;It found ISO and during windows install I chose RAID drivers from USB.
</div>


IT is what IT is

<div>
Have you made any progress with this one?
</div>


<div>
Does the BIOS support uEFI boot? Rufus will set up the flash drive for uEFI (2x partitions) by default with any Windows Server image.<br />
<br />
Make sure uEFI boot is enabled, though not Secure Boot, prior to plugging in the flash drive set up by Rufus.<br />
<br />
Boot _<i>from</i>_ the flash drive when the Boot Menu option presents itself.<br />
<br />
Does the Windows Server installer find the logical disks set up on the RAID controller? If it does not, then set up the F6 driver on the flash drive as well (we use X:\_Drivers on the flash drive for this purpose).<br />
<br />
Now, if the server does not support uEFI then use DiskPart to set up the flash drive:<br />
&nbsp;+ Start --&gt; DiskPart CTRL+SHFT+ENTER --&gt; UAC Elevate<br />
&nbsp;+ lis dis<br />
&nbsp;+ sel dis X (where X is the flash drive)<br />
&nbsp;+ clean<br />
&nbsp;+ cre par pri<br />
&nbsp;+ lis par<br />
&nbsp;+ sel par 1 (Partition created above)<br />
&nbsp;+ format fs=ntfs quick label=&quot;Windows Server&quot;<br />
&nbsp;+ active<br />
&nbsp;+ assign<br />
<br />
Then, copy the contents of the server .ISO file onto the root of the flash drive. Make sure to have the F6 driver on there too.<br />
<br />
Boot from the flash drive, select VD0, and install the OS.<br />
<br />
Once done install and run the HPE management utility to update everything.<br />
<br />
I suggest <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4000825" rel="ugc">downloading the latest CU and Servicing Stack Update</a> and <a href="http://www.mpecsinc.com/os-guide-slipstream-updates-and-drivers-using-dism-and-oscdimg/" rel="ugc">slipstreaming it into the install.WIM</a> _<i>before</i>_ copying onto the flash drive.
</div>

<div>
Catch with FAT32 is the 4GB file size limit. So, in the case where the CU gets slipstreamed in that Install.WIM file won't be able to be loaded onto the stick.
</div>


<div>
exactly. That's why you need winsetupfromusb as it overcomes that limit by splitting and re-joining the .wim file at runtime.
</div>


The More I know, the more I don't know

David Johnson, CD

<div>
Ah, IC. I think we'll stick with the simple flash drive format for non-uEFI setups and Rufus for uEFI setups. We've not had a glitch at all other than some older Toshiba Tecra laptops being persnickety with the Rufus setup.
</div>


<div>
The 2016 wim file is larger than 4 GBs by default. Now try to install that in uefi mode. Your tools will succeed only on hardware compatible to ntfs uefi booting, Phil, but there is a lot of hardware incompatible to that.
</div>


<div>
Got it. So far, we've been installing our Intel Server Systems and Dell PowerEdge. We've not ventured beyond that too much.
</div>


<div>
&gt;&gt;&quot;when I select the ISO, it says not supported.&quot;<br />
My comments were based on this. &nbsp;At what point does it say unsupported?<br />
In my case it would recognize the media, though I created multiple USB and DVDs, then the Windows install ran but upon reboot I got the ISO/OS version is not supported. &nbsp;Has to do with HP provisioning checks. &nbsp;Thus the manual install. &nbsp;That being said, on HP servers, I usually use the provision and a network share. &nbsp;No need for customized USB keys or double sided DVDs.
</div>


<div>
hey all... yes I've seen some items about this and I figured fat32 and 4gb limit would probably kick in.<br />
<br />
when I used hp usb key it said the from iso option would not let me as my iso was unsupported.<br />
<br />
so either I write a DVD and then hp usb key<br />
<br />
or I try splitting the wim. I used Nlite and slipstreamed raid drivers into the install.<br />
<br />
however when I boot the usb it says non system disk.<br />
<br />
so I figured I might have to go network share in HP IP.<br />
<br />
however I might try the usb split the file using what's suggested.<br />
<br />
I will try and push on. thanks v much for the comments. I will feedback.<br />

<div>
So far so good.. <br />
<br />
Went the easy way with HP Intelligent Provisioning and Network Share.<br />
Image available.<br />
<br />
Annoying... but hey ho.<br />
<br />
I have updated to latest everything in maintenance of HP IP.<br />
however 2012 r2 is still the highest OS shown even though the HP matrix shows HP DL360e is compatible with 2016.<br />
<br />
Going to steam ahead under 2012 r2 guise.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
&quot;HP DL360e is compatible with 2016&quot; - so you are fine. it does not matter if the tools to install the OS are not compatible as long as the server it self is.
</div>


<div>
installation failed about 70% through green saying it could not apply unattended settings..... probably because it was set as server 2012 r2...<br />
Will try again with no product key etc.. .IF it lets me<br />
<br />
Any idea?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
R
</div>


<div>
Simply use winsetupfrom usb - takes minutes to do so.
</div>


<div>
Nope... does not let me progress unless I fill the unattended stuff.<br />
<br />
I really wanted to get this server going so a network share would have been ideal.<br />
<br />
I will go with winsetupfrom usb if I must .. however, spent yesterday messing with so many options.. so would prefer this.<br />
<br />
Any ideas anyone on how to get this displaying 2016 in the HP IP?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
R
</div>


<div>
If you do manual install it will bypass all the checks and unattended, but you do need the RAID drivers on a key
</div>


<div>
Winsetupfromusb worked a treat.<br />
<br />
The network share should have worked if my HP IP had recognised 2016 IMO.<br />
<br />
However, that USB boot and splitting worked 100%. No need for additional RAID driver too..<br />
<br />
Just worked!! Will be a new tool for special setups as well as Rufus.<br />
<br />
Thanks All

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
