Hi, A good tip (depending on what system is hosting the external hard drive) is to go into device manager and disable the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on the USB Root Hub that the hard drive is connected to and possibly on the Hard Drive itself (Unlikely it will be available as an option on the hard drive but you never know) Hope it goes well for you!

Hi Naresh The login format follows DOMAIN\USER or HOSTNAME\USER In your individual case it would be Naresh\administrator where NARESH is the host or domain and administrator is the user (1) Check your local machines hostname (2) Check your local machine username Enter it in the format HOSTNAME\USERNAME This should get you going. Hope this helps :-) M

Hi David, A point to note (assuming you are using dynamic IP on your network) it would be a good idea to log into your DNS server on your router or system and set DNS1 to the IP of your server box, you can then either configure your internet DNS on the server OR config it as DNS2 or DNS3 and so on in the router config. Hope this helps :-) M

Hi, If you are using ESXi and booting from a non local disk, you must first pre-load the additional drivers as per ESXi to allow the Windows 2008 host to see the disk to which it is installing. Also a point to note, if you are using thin provisioning on the ESX you must configure the initial size of the thin device to the minimum hard drive spec of the release of Windows server that you are installing. Hope this helps :-) M
