How can I deploy Windows 8 in UEFI mode using Configuration Manager 2012 ?

Yes the first two pictures is the wim from the build and capture. The second one is from the Windows 8 org media.

 

 

 

Org media i only have 1 index.

told ya ;-)

 

to resolve you'll probably have to point out which one contains the WIM file, probably index 2.

haha , but i did point to the 2nd img index in the step "apply operating system" during deployment of that wim... Well now im gonna try win 7 se if i can get that to work

 

Edit,

 

Windows 7 UEFI = Success!

It sure is! going to try Server 2012 nex, i wish i had a newer modell to test with so i could boot from network and still use UEFI. Getting a mac client next week that is going to be intresting to se how easy (or hard) it will be to get the client on there

Hehe how do you bear with it, is it really that "fun", am i missing something, it goes a little bit faster to boot a computer with UEFI, and that's it? Are there any other benefits that i have missed?

Check out the movie under Hardware "Delivering a secure and fast boot experience with UEFI"

 

well the coolest thing atm i think if you have a SSD and running Windows 8 you can boot and be on the desktop in like 5 secs. Thats quite impressive

This is all great info, but what if I need to deploy to a UEFI tablet with no legacy bios option, and my task sequence media to copy to USB stick is greater than 4gb? I can't seem to figure this out. I can create stand alone media >4GB and copy it to a bootable USB stick and get it to work fine for standard bios, but when it comes to a UEFI device i'm struggling to get it to recognise the USB stick. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

it should work with greater than 4gb, the keys i used in the above were 8gb in size

hmmm ok thanks for replying. Maybe it is just this one device that is the problem and not necessarily the usb stick, unfortunately I don't have another UEFI device to test with at this time...
