I'm currently writing this on AoE Diskless Windows 8.1!
disabled: ms_wfplwf_upper (WFP 802.3 MAC Layer LightWeight Filter)Ĭontinued anyway - used identical proceedure as per instructions for Windows 7 (see above). enabled: ms_wfplwf_lower (WFP Native MAC Layer LightWeight Filter). nvspbind output after running the previous commands. Identifed my network adapter GUID as ms_wfplwf_upperĭespite running the above, the ms_wfplwf_lower filter could not be disabled. will retest with Windows 8(.1) when I get a chance.Ī slightly amended version of the method detailed above can also be used for a diskless AoE boot of Windows 8.1(update 1).ĭifference is in the bindings to the network adapter. This method allowed me to keep my laptop intact - I didn't have to worry about removing the hard disk or changing the disk signature to avoid conflicts before SANBooting Windows 7 Network booted the client PC and chose my iPXE menu option for AoE boot -ĭespite using a disk with a different disk signature it worked without any issues. Unmounted the F:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM registry hive. Mounted F:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM registry hive in regedit and edited the mounted devices key - changing the drive letters to avoid conflicts when diskless booting. Used ghost - "Local > Partition > From Image" option.ĭeleted the F:\boot folder to remove the BCD store.Ĭreated a new bcd store by running the command "bcdboot f:\windows /s f:" Used ghost to copy the partition image captured on the client to the partition in my mounted vhd image ( F:). The only partition in the vhd was mounted as F: I could have imaged the full disk, however I had storage restrictions and time restrictions and it was much easier to just image the 30gb partition.Ĭreated a 15 GB (fixed) vhd file using diskpart - created one partition entry, marked it as active, formatted it, then mounted the vhd in the same script. Rebooted to WinPE and imaged the Windows 7 partition - I used Ghost (Local > Partition > To Image) this time - could also have used wimlib-imagex or a number of alternatives. Rebooted into Windows 7 and ran "AoE scan" to check AoE was installed. Ran nvspbind.exe to unbind the LWF driver from my network adapter using it's GUID value (see here and here) Full instructions with screenshots are available hereĬhanged the start value for my network adapter to start=0 (see here) - might not be required (wasn't for iSCSI boot) - need to retest when I have time. 
Installed the AoE driver (run > hdwwiz.exe - ). All of the guides I have read mention the use of CCBoot Client to successfully SANBOOT Windows 7 using the AoE driver - without CCBoot Windows hangs on the splash screen and fails to boot.įor background information that lead to this post please read the following.
