Cannot install Server 2012 using USB bootable flash.

Hello,
We plan to upgrade Server 2003 to Server 2012. I downloaded Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO file from the below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012
Then make this ISO file on bootable USB flash and boot it on computer.
During Windows Setup installation after select partition,
Getting files ready on installation (xx%)
It displayed message that The installation was canceled.
"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570"
I have tried the following ways.
- re-downloaded the ISO file again
- Installed on VHD
- Installed on different computer
- Tried choosing Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI
Still got the same error. Plese help me how to solve?

I'm not clear about your problem statement. Are you saying that after downloading re-downloading the ISO, the installation failed in all three different installations?
If so, it really does sound like bad media. There have been other instances in this forum where the person downloading was apparently hitting a server on the internet that had a bad copy of the media. They got around the problem by downloading
from a different location, for example, a different part of town that gets routed to a different download server.

Cannot Install Server 2012 on RD430.

When are we going to get the BIOS updates we need so that we can install the latest products that are already released?

Just to document this in case someone runs across this old thread, all current BIOS versions available for this server support Server 2012. The first version to do this was 2.04

Cannot install windows 8 using usb stick on G400s FreeDOS version

I'm having some difficulties to get windows 8 installed on this laptop. is there any secrets or tricks on BIOS that I'm not aware of?? I have installed windows 8 on many laptops using same pendrive without having trouble previously.
I have tried legacy mode and UEFI mode/boot without any luck

hi wayne07,
Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
Inside BIOS
    Under Boot Tab
          Change Boot mode to Legacy
           USB Boot should be enabled
    Under Security
          Secure Boot Has to Be disabled
In case the options above are grayed out in your BIOS, Got to Exit Tab and Change OS Optimized Default to Other OS
and check the options again.
Once All are Set Make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot. You should have now your USB Stick as an Option.
Let me know your findings
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these computers:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
If you don't have any of these Macs, you can't install Windows through a USB drive. Instead, buy Windows on a DVD. Follow Apple's steps > http://support.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1519/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6. pdf

Install Windows server 2012 using powershell

Hi Folks,
How to Install Windows server 2012 using powershell.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to install Windows server 2012 via PowerShell.
Per the previous thread, we could not install Windows server 2012 directly via PowerShell.

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the Windows server, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for Windows server.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=winserver8setup
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Windows server.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

Dear Team,
Thanks in advance.
I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
i have tried changing the initial install option of OS to ''other''. But still its the same.
Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key.
if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

I have the same problem here.
With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message: ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

I bought mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
and there is no 4 choices window.
I don't know what to do.

How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

Cannot Promote Server 2012 R2 Server to DC??

I have a freshly installed Server 2012 R2 Core Edition with all of the latest updates as of today. I did the following:
- Changed name to DC6
- Joined it to the existing domain.
- Logged in as domain admin.
- Set fixed IP address & set DNS servers to other DNS servers already on the network.
I then installed the AD DC via Server Manager from my computer and that went through fine. I then logged into the server itself and ran the following command:
Install-ADDSDomainController via powershell and answer the commands as requested for the current domain and safe mode administrator password. I get the following error:
Verification of prerequisites for Active Directory preparation failed. The specified user does not have SESecurityPrivilegeEnabled.
I ensured that domain admins (I'm logged in as a domain admin) are in the local admin group and that hasn't helped. NOTE: I haven't had any problems adding domain controllers in the past, only with this Server 2012 R2 version. I'm currently
running Server 2008 R2 DC's at the 2008 forest level.
Anybody have any ideas?

I concur with GSS1 and Mike about the schema and that the account should in the Manage auditing and Security log policy. In addition, you may also want to see what the poster did in the following thread:

Install Server 2012 on a raid device

Hi there
i have following problem - i have to install server 2012 (unattended) on an server with an LSI Controller.
Therefore i have to configure the raid controller - befor the installation of the operating system.
So my idea was to write an batch for configuration an execute this batch as a synchronous command. this is almost working but the configuration of the raid happens to late, so that setup cannont continue
now i have two questions:
is it possible to set an global environment variable as soon as possible?
would it work if i start my configuration script in the startnet.cmd inside the pe-part of the boot.wim?
any other ideas?
thx
netlord

Hi Henrik
i tried this:
i´ve injected the storcli.exe and the raid.cmd into the first index of the boot.wim (called "Windows PE (x64)"
also i edited the startnet.cmd and inserted following line
%SYSTEMROOT%\storcli\raid.cmd (before of the wpeinit)
this doesn´t work.
unfortunaltely i can see no log of this action
so i have some more questions:
-was it correct to start my batch before wpeinit? (logically yes, but....)
- where exactly is the switch between PE-part and Windows Setup-part?
- can i stop the boot procedure at this time?
- is it possible to write a log-file which i can read later? where to place it?
- most of all i would love to write the log to my usb-boot device - is this possible?
how can i set an environment variable which points to the usb-device?

Installing WIM file using USB

Hi,
I want to install captured image using USB. Not sure where I went wrong. here is what I did.
I captured an image(windows 8.1 x64 ) using MDT . I have used the captured image in WDS it works fine. But I wanted to use USB (as the file size is 6GB cant use DVD) to install on remote machines.
Than I converted it to ISO. I followed a step in http://www.ehow.com/how_5750929_convert-wim-file-iso-file.html
Finally I created bootable USB using Rufus (also tried ultraiso). easy ah
But when I boot from the USB it is giving me "windows failed to start"error as if there is no windows file on the USB.
Can anyone please help me.
Thank you very much
Serki

You can use the wim you captured, and create a new task sequence in MDT. You should then be able to create media to a folder, and copy the files to a USB drive. Once booted, the process should be similar to the WDS process you have used, assuming you used
a MDT task sequence for the WDS deployment.
Here is a walkthrough for Windows 8.1.

After BIOS Update cannot boot Satellite C640 using USB Stick

After upgrading my Toshiba Satellite C640-10E (PSC02E) bios to 2.00 WIN, I cannot boot the laptop using USB Stick, When I checked the BIOS using F2 I was stunned because the USB connected to laptop was labeled as FLOPPY drive. Is there any option to downgrade the BIOS?
Thanks

From my experience the BIOS is able to boot from
- USB FDD (floppy disk)
- Primary HDD,
- USB Memory stick
- Network (LAN)
So I dont think that your USB memory is recognized as a USB FDD but the USB FDD appears as a separate boot device.
It would be interesting to know if another USB flash memory would act as your old USB flash stick.
PS: as Tonny suggested: you cannot downgrade because you dont have previous BIOS version only Toshiba service agents are able to downgrade the BIOS using traditional BIOS.

Nothing. It's simply not compatible. You need to upgrade to another product.
