Network cards in "Safely Remove HW list"???

By npapanik, in Microserver Gen 10

As in screenshot the Network cards of the Gen10 are shown in the removable list... As you can see I have the latest drivers and firmware for the two cards. This is a very annoying issue since you can accidentally lose network connectivity while ejecting an external USB device.

 

FYI the four disks installed at the front bays (Marvell controller) had the same issue but I fixed it by following MS's article:

Windows Server 2016 Std, b1607.

 

I opened a ticket to HPE but after a bunch of useless back and forth emails they said its the OS... (surprise!).

 

I found the solution myself yesterday and will post the steps later on.

- Go to "Device Manager" and right click "Properties" of the Network Card 

- Go to Tab "Details", Property "Device Instance Path" and copy the last number (after the last "\")

- Go to registry to the path "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI"

- Search for the value that you have copied earlier (from the Device Instance Path)

- Look at the right pane: you will see a REG_DWORD named "Capabilities" with the value "14" (Hexadecimal).    Change it to "10". If you get a permissions error you will have to change ownership to the specific key and put your account to have full control.

- Do the exact same for the key exactly below (the other network card of the Gen10)

Note that after reboot the value reverts to default (14) so:

- Create a reg file e.g. removenetwork.reg with contents (change to your values  accordingly):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_165F&SUBSYS_22E8103C&REV_00\000070106FCA7D9200]
"Capabilities"=dword:00000010

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_165F&SUBSYS_22E8103C&REV_00\000070106FCA7D9301]
"Capabilities"=dword:00000010

- Create a batch file e.g. remove.bat with contents:

reg import your path\removenetwork.reg

Create a Schedule task to run this batch file when you a user logs on...

 

That's it!

This has been finally fixed (for both network & disks) with BIOS ZA10A350 released on 28 May 2018!

      Client Restore Service WinPE/Full Client Restore wizard crashes on new laptop
      By DonTen
      I have Windows Server 2016 Essentials (an in place upgrade from 2012R2 - I know but that is what it is).
       
      I have two modern clients: Dell XPS 13 7390, which fail to load the WinPE / Full Client Restore wizard both from the network and from a USB key. They blue screen with a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error. Older clients load the Full Client Restore wizard successfully both from the key and the network.
       
      I have tried installing the latest Windows 10 ADK (2004) and re running the Client Restore Service set up from the Dashboard. Although this creates new folders in the ClientRestore folder within Program Data it does not update the version of WinPE reported in the boot images in Windows Deployment Services which is 6.3.9600 (Windows 8.1). This seems as if it may be a hangover from the 2012R2 installation. 
       
      There was no WinPE or ADK application to uninstall before I installed the latest ADK, so installed it and hoped for the best.
       
      Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can get the Client Restore service to use a later version of WinPE without breaking the Essentials set up?

      Gen 10 Plus vs Gen 10
      By hfournier
      I'm putting together a build for a non-profit client and I want to make sure they're getting the best bang for their bucks.
       
      Current server:
      HP MicroServer N40L 8 GB WS2012E Plextor PX-256M5Pro SSD - OS drive SAMSUNG HD103SI 1TB (x2) - Data drives (Storage Spaces) WDC WD20EZRX 2TB (x2) - Data drives (Storage Spaces)  
      On the new server, I'd like to setup the OS on SSDs (RAID 1) for speed and redundancy. Trying to squeeze extra SSDs on the Gen 10 Plus lead me to using the PCIe card. I guess on the Gen 10 there's enough room and SATA connections to put a couple of SSDs in the Optical bay instead. And, I'm leaving 1 drive bay empty to add another 2 TB should they need it, which is not likely.
       
      New Server Option 1 ($2084 CDN):
      HP MicroServer Gen 10 X3418 (P07203-001) 8 GB 8 GB Module - DDR4 2400MHz (Kingston KTH-PL424E/8G) WS2016E StarTech.com Dual M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter Card - x8 / x16 Dual NVMe or AHCI M.2 SSD to PCI Express 3.0 - RAID & JBOD (PEX8M2E2) Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V7E500BW) (x2) - OS Drives (RAID 1) WD Gold 2TB (x3) - Data drives (Storage Spaces, or can I RAID 5 them?)  
      New Server Option 2 ($2362):
      HP MicroServer Gen 10 Plus (P16006-001) 16 GB WS2016E StarTech.com Dual M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter Card - x8 / x16 Dual NVMe or AHCI M.2 SSD to PCI Express 3.0 - RAID & JBOD (PEX8M2E2) Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V7E500BW) (x2) - OS Drives (RAID 1) WD Gold 2TB (x3) - Data drives (Storage Spaces, or can I RAID 5 them?)  
      So two questions for all of you:
      If anything, what would you change and why? For the extra $278 (13% more), is the Gen 10 Plus worth it?  
      Thanks.

      No storage driver works
      By Angelus
      Good day all
       
      i bought a gen 10 x3216 MicroServer and I have been trying to install windows server 2016 on it with a usb and I get it to boot into the usb with the iso on it but I can not get past the one install step where u supposed to select the drive.
       
      instead it says to download storage drivers and browse to select driver. I have downloaded every single storage driver from the hpe site or is sure does feel like it.
       
      if I try to select the driver I have to do so manually by unticking show only compatible drivers because if I leave it ticked there is nothing compatible. Iam stumped on what the correct driver is.
       
      ok so what Iam trying to do isssssss I want to install the os onto the usb that I have attached inside the box the one that is directly coming off the board. Is that a different driver ? 
       
      In bios/boot up options I can see all usb connected.
       
      can anyone please help me with this

      HPE ProLiant Gen10 MicroServer with 4K Monitor
      By Joe_Miner
      Well, I finally did it and got a 4K monitor and have attached it to my MicroServer.
       
      Here is my list of devices that I worked with:
       
      4K LG Monitor
      ·         LG32UD59-B 32” 4K UHD LED Monitor, 3840x2160, HDCP 2.2, HDMI, DisplayPort, AMD FreeSync, On-Screen Control
      HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 X3421
      ·         8GB RAM  - Stock
      ·         Windows 10 Pro x64
      ·         OS Drive: SATA Port 1 – Samsung 840 Pro 256GB loaded in Icy Dock’s EZConvert in Drive Bay 1
      ·         4K LG Monitor attached with DP cable – NOTE: 4K LG Monitor was also attached with HDMI cable via: “Active DisplayPort to HDMI 4K Adapter, Benfei DP to HDMI Ultra HD Converter”   -- both attachments seemed to work well.
      ·         SYBA SD-CM-UAUD USB 2.0 External Stereo Audio Adapter
      ·         External speakers with subwoofer
      ·         Logitech K120 Keyboard with mouse
      ·         Pioneer slim external USB 3.0 Blu-Ray BDR-XD05S
      ·         CyberLink PowerDVD 18 Ultra
       
      The monitor seems to work well in 4K mode with both the DP cable connected directly to the MS as well as the HDMI cable using a DP to HDMI converter that I used last year when working on the Beta unit.  So far so good.  
       
      Here's a video of my experience
