Re: Provisioning Windows 8.1 with UEFI/GPT

Thanks Eric.

 

I found this Microsoft article that gave some insight into what partitions to create, how to format them, and how to lay the image down on a UEFI-enabled system.

 

Sample: Apply Images on a UEFI-based Computer by Using ImageX

 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh304353(v=ws.10).aspx

 

I tried adding the device to the Bare Metal Server configuration and scheduling the Provisioning Job, but when I started the job, it just hung as "Active". So I'm putting that one aside for now. Probably have to open a support incident.

 

On a UEFI-enabled machine machine, I saw ...

 

300MB for Recovery Partition

100MB for EFI System Partition

 

So that is what I used (even though the above article uses different sizes). Also on my test machine the Recovery partition comes first, while the article has it second, so I guess the order doesn't matter.

 

The access error was also fixed. It was the permissions put on the share for the image.

 

So now the partitions are created, the image gets deployed using DISM, and BCDBOOT runs successfully. However, when the machine reboots, it says the PC needs to be repaired. "The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information."

 

Thanks.

 

Pete
