Split the sources\install.wim file to several.Obtain the Windows 2016 installation ISO and extract the files from it.swm files with DISM command line utility and it will make do. So we have to split the install.wim file into two. So you cannot put such a big file on FAT32 while you cannot use NTFS for the source partition. Unfortunatelly FAT32 file system can accomodate files of size up to 4 GB only. Windows 2016 installation contains INSTALL.WIM file in the sources folder which is more than 4.3 GB long. Some USB flash drives may have the option to flip the " removable bit" (also called RMB), but it is always kind of a hack for hours long fun during long winter nights.Īnd here comes the problem.

You cannot create more partitions on the USB flash drive, because it is advertised as a removable media into operating system and thus it prevents you from creating more than a single partition. The UEFI BIOS needs to be able to read the contents of the partition and kind of logically they understand FAT32 only.

have a single partition formated with FAT32 - unless you are extremelly lucky, you cannot use NTFS.

be GPT ( GUID partition table) formated - we cannot use MBR style harddisk format, UEFI requires the newer format called GPT.

The installation media based on USB pen flash drive must meet the following criteria:

#SERVER 2016 CREATE BOOT PARTITION PASSWORD#

Administrator password for entering the BIOS enforced - without admin password Secure Boot does not work.

CSM ( compatibility support mode) disabled - this prevents booting anything else than correctly digitally signed UEFI Secure Boot operating system, in our case the Windows 2016 setup from the installation media.

Go into your BIOS (now called UEFI) and make sure you have: As it turns out, there some challenges though. I plan installing from a pen flash drive.

On my current platform it does not work even if I only leave the CSM ( compatibility support mode enabled) so what I need is a fully UEFI and Secure Boot enabled installation media which was not required on my previous trials with an older hardware and Windows 10.

To have Secure Boot propagated the whole way up to a fully booted operating system, you have to clean install directly with all the UEFI support enabled (I have already covered some of it in a previous post about Secure Boot in Windows 10). You may want to install Windows Server 2016 directly on a fully UEFI enabled system in order to be able to enforce the Secure Boot and make use of features such as Device Guard (Credential Guard) or the Hyper-V isolation and TPM virtual smart cards.
