I've been trying to download these .iso files via Ventoy because it allows for saving multiple .iso files on a bootable USB drive but the uploads to Ventoy fail because Windows Disk Management reports that the USB drive space is un-allocated even though I used the New Simple Volume wizard.

Howdy, I'd like to know what would be the best programs to install on a USB thumb drive to troubleshoot operating systems, memory and hard drives. Is the below a good start? Thanks, MB IT ToolPurposeDownload Link Hiren’s BootCD PEWindows-based troubleshooting & recoveryDownload...

Got it, thanks again.

Very helpful link, thanks. For sure, it has been very unforgiving. Would it be better to install the Ubuntu VM on a host Windows 11 Pro, or no difference?

Hello, I can ping Ubuntu from Windows Server 2022, but the moment I use nslookup from Ubuntu to Windows AD, it says there's a "communications error." I've made changes in Ubuntu such as changes to the SSSD config file and ensure that all ports on Windows (ie DNS port 53) is listening But...

The biggest issue during the install was the BIOS. I changed the boot order to make the USB drive the priority, but each time I saved the settings, BIOS displayed HDD-->USB as the order. Hence, the install would start, seemed to be progressing and then it reverted to the Server 2022 Eval...

Got it. I'm leaning towards building a new box; would you have a suggestion for a motherboard supporting Win 2022 Server?

I see. I'm running one Linux Ubuntu server and two Windows PC clients. So, run the virtualization on Ubuntu?

I'd like to deploy the server on my home network to connect to two clients so that I can start learning Windows 2022 Server. I recently built a box with an MSI motherboard, PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4, and while it supported the 2022 Evaluation edition, it does not support the Standard Desktop...

I contacted Gigabyte to learn if the B550M DS3H AC Motherboard supports a Windows 2022 Server deployment, but rep replied it only supports Win 11. I'm trying to build a new box that runs Win 2022 Server. Can you suggest/recommend a motherboard brand that would support a 2022 Server Standard...
