Windows 10 Technical Preview and REFS-formatting.
Why does Windows 10 TP not provide for formatting in REFS? It is very inconvenient to have to go to Windows Recovery Environment each time you need to format a drive in REFS.

Hi all,
Currently, the file system in Windows 10 technical preview is same with Windows 8.1.
The Windows Server Technical Preview has the same file system with Windows Server 2012 R2.

Is there a version of ISCSI Initiator that is compatible with Windows 10 Technical Preview?

[Forum FAQ]Microsoft account sync settings in Windows 10 Technical Preview
Summary
Since Windows 8, Microsoft has introduced Microsoft Accounts. When you sign in to your PC or device with a Microsoft account, you
can check email anytime, get Apps from the Windows Store, and keep all your favorite stuff—devices, photos, friends, games, settings, music, and so on—up to date and in sync.
From the release of
Windows 10 Technical Preview, many users have upgraded to this new OS. You may would like to keep the personalization settings, such as Desktop, Themes, Start screen, Tiles and so on. It is smart to achieve this with the help of Microsoft accounts.
Solution
This article describes how to implement synchronization settings with the help of Microsoft accounts by an example.
Note: The previous OS has connected to a Microsoft account and has been configured related sync settings.
Example: In Windows 8.1, the layout of Start screen is shown as below, two extra icons have been pinned to the Start screen: Facebook which is needed to be installed manually and
Control Panel which is a built-in item by design.
Note: Start menu is been used by default in Windows 10 Technical Preview, if you want to switch to Start screen, please right click
Taskbar\Properties\Start Menu, which is as shown below, uncheck the option
Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen, then sign out and sign back.
Steps
Press Windows Logo +C, click
Settings\Change PC Settings\OneDrive\Sync settings, and then turn on
Sync your settings on this PC.
Configure corresponding settings according to your demand. The settings of this example are shown as below:
Connect the same Microsoft account in Windows 10 Technical Preview, configure the same sync settings, wait for several minutes, or restart Task Manager, sign out and sign back, restart. The setting configured in the previous system
would be synchronized to the new OS, which is shown as below:
From the picture above, we can find that the layout of Start screen is almost the same with the one of previous OS, Facebook and Control Panel are also synchronized to the Start screen in Windows
10 Technical Preview. However, since Facebook is not a built-in app, you need to click the icon to install it before using it. Here we can see that the synchronized apps have not been installed.
In this example, Background and Lock screen have also been synchronized, and the Taskbar has also been placed to the left edge just like the configurations in the previous system which is shown as below:

Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.Thank for the write up. I have "streamlined" the process to make it forward compatible with the new Tech Previews.
I am using the following.
- MDT 2013
- Windows 8.1 ADK
- Additional edits to LTIApply.wsf as detailed in original
article with some modifications listed below.
- Custom DISM script (link)
1) Edit LTIApply.wsf and change the following code.
Old Code
If Left(oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion"), 1) >= "6" then
New Code
If ((Left(oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion"), 1) >= "6") or (Left(oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion"), 2) = "10")) then
Then remove the following code and replace with the new code.
Old Code
Elseif Left(sOSBuild, 1) < "6" then
iRetVal = ApplyImage( "nt52" )
New Code
Elseif Left(sOSBuild, 1) < "6" and Left(sOSBuild, 1) > "2" then
iRetVal = ApplyImage( "nt52" )
When it comes to DISM, no need to change the current structure. Use the script at the following location and it will pull the DISM files from the Windows 10 WIM file automatically for you and apply them to the installation session. Does
not modify your MDT 2013 ADK in any way.
A very smart guy figured this out, many kudos to Frank Lesniak for coming up with this little trick.

I can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview in Dell Inspiron M5030
Hello everyone.
I have a big problem when installing the Windows 10 Technical Preview, everything goes well until the moment that says "getting devices ready XX%" after this the screen turns black, which I had already happened when installing Windows 8.1 . I have
Windows 8 Pro and gave me problems to install, but with these two versions of Windows I always throws this error. Right now what interests me is to have installed Windows 10 Technical Preview to be developing some applications we have had in mind
a few colleagues and I, but I have not managed to install it. I have to turn the laptop to use it again, and when you start telling me "restoring your previous version of windows" And once again normally on, send me a message saying "We Could
not install Windows 10 Technical Preview" and send me the error code 0xC1900101 - 0x30018.
HELP!
I urgently need to have installed this version of windows.Hi Domeck98,
This kind of issue is mostly caused by the driver compatibility issue during upgrade.
And it’s hard to find the culprit from installation log. The error code is sent by the setupact.log.
For a better method to test the 9879 build, it is recommended to perform a clean install in your case:
Here is the link to download the 9879 build ISO.

We can burn it to DVD media or use it create bootable USB drive.

Is iTunes 11 compatible with Windows 10 Technical Preview?
Hello.
I just installed Windows 10 Technical Preview and iTunes 11 on my PB, but now iTunes does not start up.
Can anybody explain me why?
kind regards,
jolimansiTunes is not officially supported on Windows 10, and will not be until the latter is released in the fall. While Apple, like all other vendors of Windows software, will be working to ensure compatibility at that time, it is not possible to say whether any given version of iTunes will install, run, or operate correctly against a Tech Preview that may be unfinished and/or unstable.
That said, it is possible that more recent versions of iTunes may include some reworked code that's intended to be a component of Win 10 compatibility. This may be stretching assumptions a little, but it may not be a coincidence that the last two releases of iTunes (12.1 and 12.1.1) have included full 64-bit applications and not just the "32-bit application with 64-bit installer" architecture of previous releases. Have you tried the latest (12.1.1.4) release to see if that works better than 11? -

When installing to Windows 7 PCs, run ADKSetup.exe in administrator mode.
WDK
Currently, WDM templates do not build
Driver deployment to target PCs won’t work if the
Display name used in the Device Configuration dialog is different than the
Network host name. In this release, verify that these names are the same.

Following the installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10049, the XAML designer in Visual Studio and Blend will crash when opened.
We now have a patch you can install to work around the following issue: “The XAML designer in VS and Blend will crash when opened.”
This is only intended to be used with the Windows version 10049, and Windows SDK version 10030.
Download the following
patch to a temp folder
Unzip the files into a TEMP folder.
Exit Visual Studio if you have it opened.
From an administrative command prompt, run the batch file: XAMLUpdate10049.cmd.
That should do it. If you have any issues, please post questions to the

Hi Windows-Server Team!
We've got 8 XenServers with NVidia GRID K2 cards in it and using it for our Citrix XenApp/XenDesktops Farms.
Works very good. But we want to do it with Hyper-V.
Is there a plan to do vGPU like XenServer with Hyper-V too?
Thanks
ThomasHi Thomas,
Windows Server Technical Preview adds support for OpenGL 1-4.4 and OpenCL 1.1. You will need Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview for the guest VM and Server Technical Preview with Hyper-V installed on the physical host.

TechNet Community SupportHi,
Using REGEDIT it's necessary to create a DWORD value called 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth' in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters and set this new value to 1. press F5 to refresh registry or reboot will also be necessary.
