Hi,
I'm still struggling with setup/deployment of Server 2012 R2 core on an ML150 Gen9 machine. Since this server definitely does not boot from any USB2.0 or USB3.0 flash drive - obviously because of UEFI - and has no DVD drive I have to run setup from a remote share via ILO. That's slow and takes about 45 Minutes. Then I have to go through the steps of creating baseline, inventory and deployment with HPSUM, again from remote share. After that the system has NIC driver and I can run Windows Updates. This all takes a lot of time and I ask myself how this could be accelerated.
Would someone share his/her experience?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Stefano
Additional information: Intelligent provisioning is not an option, because it does not let you limit size of OS partition to about 30 - 40 GB.
