Make USB Bootable Media – Deploy Windows 8 and 8.1 (Isvet Laclaustra)

UPDATED for 8.1!

In Windows 8 and 8.1 a tool for creating USB Bootable Media is DISKPART.

DISKPART will help you clean drive, create an activate a partition, and format to NTFS in a very simple way, you can follow the notes below.

Important once the USB drive is prepared you will need to add / transfer all the files / content from a Windows 8, 8.1 DVD to the USB you just formatted.

It works as a charm! Hope you can use it in your lab, “On the Floor” and surely in your SCCM 2012, MDT 2012 U1 created media or Plain USB.

Windows 8 Server in Hyper V R2 | PowerShell @ Glance!

Windows 8 Server (Developer Preview) works like a beauty in Hyper V R2. New remote Role Based deployment and administration  clearly denotes the direction Microsoft continues to the server platform “Better and More Capable”.

The easy to install and configure Windows Server 8 invites you to deploy via Hyper V R2 servers with roles like:

ADDS

DNS

DHCP

IIS

PowerShell 3 surely continues to deliver more remote management features. With the most recent version of Windows PowerShell you can take servers to extreme performance via Hyper V making true PARALLEL deployment of roles and features. Also you can managege / monitor via the NEW Server Manager all services, logs, and alerts of individual and multiple deployed servers thanks to TILE based Server Manager in Windows Server 8.

If you want to see more related to Windows 8 Server & PowerShell come to Microsoft  tomorrow and be part of a “First Look” to what Windows Server 8 promises.
