Running a gtx 1060 6gb. I even tried uninstalling them and installing the Hyper-V with the generic ms video driver. Probably just end up buying a cheap machine, transfer the servers over, and call it a day. Seems like virtualbox has plenty of issues with trying to image deploy over it's internal network. Thanks for the help though guys

I got the bsod when using WDS to deploy to another VM. It loads the boot.wim over the network, loads up the black screen with at blue windows symbol, and then after 5 mins I get that BSOD. Do I need to build a drivers store? I tried using HyperV, but I had video driver issues after installing it. You have to remove all video drivers before installing it. So thats a no go. I am planning on buying another machine to host the lab, but I gotta pay bills first lol.

I jsut created a batch file for both shutting down and rebooting due to Windows annoying saving all your opened applications. These would be call clean restarts or shutdowns. shutdown /r /f /t 0 or shutdown /s /f /t 0 These are a little dirty in the way they shut down the machine though. So if you feel like you want to give the machine 30 seconds, you cal leave off the /t 0.

An older one, but the Axon 7 was good with the headphones. I love my Nokia 7 plus, but it doesn't have the best light vs sun.

So I built me a virtualbox lab to freshen up on Sysadmin skill. Currant setup: Running three VM Windows 2019 that has WDS, DCHP, and AD installed and configured (to a point) pfSence acting as the router between my physical LAN and my virtual.. To be Windows 10 client machine being deployed from WDS. I end up getting the configuration to pxe the client VM, but it hangs on the Blue Windows logo, and then give me a BSOD with a HAL INITALIZATION error. Oh and the boot and install wim's are pulls from a generic Windows 10 x64 iso. I'm I missing something? I watched plenty of youtube how to's and the configurations are basically the same as they were back on 2008 server.

An old laptop, raspberry pi, anything really. An old Android phone....

Qusetion: Have you looked into having them hosted instead of running them locally? Power and hardware maintenance costs do factor in too.

Umm easy solution... Team viewer file transfer.

Older hardware that can support Ubunut server or OMV. Have fun. I'm sure you have an old laptop laying around. Off to learning you go!

POPos. Dont use outdate OS's. Please... Just... No.... You are just begging to get your machine popped. If you value your security either upgrade or go open sourced. Your credit score and bank account will thank me later. And not to use windows updates.... is... just... wow... People just really floor me with the lack of knowledge and assuming they know better than the ones who built the very operating system you are using. But then again, you sir are they reason why I still have a job in the IT field.

Question: Is this brand new hard ware layout and OS. Like are you going from an older machine? If you are just hardware upgrading a windows 10 machine, you can use Ssyprep. Then the question is if you are using the same HHD or a new one. New: Image the old and slap it on the new. Just keeping the old: pop it right in there and let windows install all the need drivers. Also you might want to just have the network drivers just in case. Windows 10 is great about having usable generic networking drivers, but it never hurts to be safe.

Bless your soul. Just nuke it from orbit. Make sure you download your network drivers at the very least. Heck, if you wanted to save your local profile, transwiz it to either an other media or another partition. Happy Learning!

Ever heard of a generalized image slapped on an Imaging software. Lets you do all the admin magic with out all the end user bs one time. It blew my mind the first time my old coworker showed me that. OR (cus poeple like variety) if you are replacing a machine, just transwiz that profile right over.

Few options. 1.DD it using a LiveCD of Ubuntu. Then use GNU parted to expand out the partitions. 2. Use the built in version of windows backup to take an image of your drive. Load machine using a recovery media Restore Image with previously created image. 3. Just restore backed up data to new drive using your backup software.... I mean you are backing up your installation right....? Right?

Updates all drivers. Check your event viewer for driver and application failures. Error logs will show you the way, young gamer.

https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ Says you need to disable UEFI Secure booting. Almost sounds like permissions issues. You could try running those commands again using psexec as the system account instead of the local admin.

Totally did this for AS400 access machines at my first job. I pointed the registry to point at classic shell instead of explorer. This ended up loading a black screen.Then you will need to reg an auto log in. This stores a username and password in the registry to automatically log in. Then just set your emulation software to load at log on with task scheduler.

Are you trying to copy the data from the original drive to the active one on the liveCD? Cus thats a read only kernel loaded into memory.

Backup your data and nuke it from orbit. This is why I backup my workstation weekly. Oh btw urBackup is a great backup software and is free. Check it out.

Maybe legacy Bios instead of uefi? Though windows its self might not load though. Is that a copy straight from the manufacturer? Also you might want to disable any AV software and the windows smart filtering. Good luck!

You should be able to refresh the pc with out uninstalling software if I remember. If not it does give you a lit of all the isntall software. You can also run belacr before the reisntall to get a list of software along with all the cd keys.

Sysprep it. Register the copy of Windows to your Live account. Before you do the swap. Then swap. Install drivers. Have a nice day.

Id max out the Ram on that puppy. JS.

I'd start by checking out your events on each machine. Did you clear out the Downloaded software cache? Id also uninstall all the updates that have been installed since the start of the issue. Also clear out all temp data by running disk clean up as the local admin. The built in Disk cleanup gets rid of all the junks. Alot more than ccleaner. Also check the health of the drives. Might be trying to install the updates to a bad sectors. And then also look threw any documentation for any specialize software they have. See if there might be an issues with any windows updates.

Its highly recommended that you do not walk out into the fields of thorns that is the internet without some kind of protection. Look for a third party lightweight AV software. schedule the scans during down time. Windows Defender really doesn't take up much resources. Just reschedule the scans. If you are running Windows on a very low resource machine. Stop. Switch to Lubuntu or another light weight distro. Or, heaven forbid, by a better machine. Hell I just recycled a Optiplex 780 by slapping a new ssd, gtx 750 ti, a new cpu, and installed Ubuntu on it for a 100 bucks. Now its a great little steam machine that could.
