Failed Installation of Windows Server 2008.

Hey,.

I recently tried to install Windows Server 2008 on ESXi 4.0.0 (revision 1).

The installation went all the way until they have to 'Finish installation', how come wrong stop installation.

"Setup.exe - bad image".

After that, another windows came up saying that windows could not be configured for use on the hardware in my server.

Could someone advise me to solve this?

Thank you.

Oliver.

    Installing CPID v2.0 on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1, the Setup log reported that the installation failed with the error "CustomAction RollBackSccmComponents returned error code 1603"

    I run the Setup with this command after you open the command prompt as 'Run as administrator ':

    MsiExec.exe /i Dell_Client_Integration_Pack.msi

    I even put the command above into a batch file and run it with the same result. With the help of Trace32, I also found this error to be the main problem causing the failure of this facility:

    I found myself by opening a ticket with Dell to get this problem finally solved. After the installation of Dell's Support log shipping, they asked me to follow these steps below:

    1 if the SQL DB is on a separate machine, try to create the "SMS_TaskSequence_Action" class in WMI under \\.\root\sms\site_ >.  You can download WMI Explorer to browse if you want to see if this class already exists.  Run the script below will not hurt if it already exists.

    a. here are the instructions to create the custom class.  First open powershell as an administrator.

    b. set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned

    c. change the extension on the attached in .ps1 file and change the file to replace the "site_abc" by "site_their 3 letter site code.

    d. change the storage location of the ps1 file.

    e... \WMIClassAdd.ps1

    f. restart and try the installation again.

    3. If it still does not work, send me the newspaper install again to look at.

    Note:

    Here is what was in the attachment in step C.

    ****************************************************************************

    $newClass = ' new-Object System.Management.ManagementClass

    ("root\sms\site_abc", [String]: empty, $null);

    $newClass ["__CLASS"] = "SMS_TaskSequence_Action";

    $newClass.Qualifiers.Add ("Static", $true)

    $newClass.Put)

    *************************************************************************

    After you run the instructions above and restarted the server, installing v2.0 CPID ended successfully.

    I hope that these instructions will help someone in the future... :))

  • Assistance needed for the installation of windows server 2008 r2

    Hello users,.

    I am new to this technology of the virtual environment and I need help in installing windows server 2008 r2 on a machine virtual workstation. For it so what are the recommended setting for drivers, no. of processors, amount of RAM, type of CISS or sata... etc to give the best performance on my virtual machine. If possible please provide me details to my knowledge.

    Thanks in advance

    Are you sure that you have installed a Windows Server 2008 R2?

    Because the normal procedure is that after the installation, you will get a prompt to choose an administrator password. Once you are connected.

    There is no additional user created during installation. This only happens when you install versions of Windows desktop.

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008 from downloaded files

    I have a new server ESXi of nu metal and you want to install Windows Server 2008 remotely.

    I plan to download the Windows Server 2008 installer for the data store, but the user guide mentions the download an ISO file. I have the CD of Microsoft but not a single ISO.

    So my question is, can I download the contents of the CD or should I create a bootable ISP to get this installation started?

    MagicISO should be good do the job. You don't have to worry about doing whatever it is bootable. When you create an ISO image for a bootable CD/DVD already all these things start will appear in the image.

    PS: I posted the same topic in the forum "Blade" by mistake. Apology.

    "Do you mean that if my BIOS/SATA configuration has been set to RAID 1 I should have drivers chipset/AHCI for a successful installation?"

    No, because you are not using the onboard SATA RAID - your built-in SATA is used ONLY by your optical drive, so it should not be in RAID and AHCI usually requires special drivers, which is not required when you use optical drives.  However, pilots of chipset/AHCI may have helped Windows to see the optical drive in such a way that the installation could proceed (if she needs the RAID controller for real hard disks, you will NOT see this particular message - you will see another message when Windows cannot find not all drives to be installed on).

    "When someone would set RAID 1 for sata configuration?"

    ONLY if you use the S110 RAID controller onboard.  You use the H310, so you don't want to mess with the SATA RAID on board.

  • Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 on vmware workstation 9

    Hello

    I have a laptop with windows 7 OS and installed a VM with windows server 2008 R2 OS using vmware workstation 9. The thing is without creating any user, VM is turining IT with the user that I connected my laptop. Is that how it behaves.

    Generally, when install us windows server on a physical machine, he asks to open a session with the administrator by changing the password.

    Could someone let me know how to change this?

    Thanks in advance

    This problem occur if you select the OS install disc when the VM... in this way creating the VMware Workstation uses a feature called Easy Install, where you will be asked for more information, including the user credentials.

    To avoid using Easy Install, during the creation of the VM, on install, select "I will install the operating system later":

    To read more about Easy Install, check page 35: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/desktop/ws90-getting-started.pdf

    The problem is that Windows does not have a driver for the SCSI controller device.  I tried to change the type of "LSI Logic SAS' to 'LSI Logic" parallel "and it does not solve the problem.  I tried to download a Windows 2008 LSI SAS of LSI driver directly (http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_ics/lsisas1068/index.html) and use it, and still have had no luck.

    You have activated VT settings in the BIOS of your host? If this isn't the case, you must do.
