RS4 gonna be better tho improving metro system, make it more responsive cant wait for make a server of it
Need help from experts. I followed the steps from the first page, grabed the ESD images with Client 16299 and all the packages 16299, unpacked as required. Copy all the files to the test VM with ServerDatacenterACor 16299. Now I add the following packages: Spoiler: DISM commands dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-WOW64-Package00~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Client-ShellLauncher-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Client-ShellLauncher-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Desktop-Shared-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Desktop-Shared-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-ShellExperienceHost-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-ShellExperienceHost-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-ShellLauncher-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-ShellLauncher-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Enterprise-Desktop-Shared-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Enterprise-Desktop-Shared-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-en-us-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Handwriting-en-us-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-OCR-en-us-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-en-us-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-TextToSpeech-en-us-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Server-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-ServerDatacenterACor-GVLK-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum All the operations are successfull, except the one for Microsoft-Windows-Server-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum Spoiler: DISM error for Microsoft-Windows-Server-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum PS D:\> dism /online /NoRestart /add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Server-Languag ePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15.mum Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.16299.15 Image Version: 10.0.16299.192 Processing 1 of 1 - Adding package Microsoft-Windows-Server-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~10.0.16299.15 [==========================100.0%==========================] An error occurred - Microsoft-Windows-Server-LanguagePack-Package Error: 0x80070490 Error: 1168 Element not found. Now I restart. It reboots, and is starting to undo the process What am I missing?
why the image is different build ? I think its mean same files of package is missing Im recommending doing the adding offline
Me fault in the question itself, everything is 1709 build 16299 can you please give me a way to check filenames of a package? And do I actually need to apply ServerLanguagePack to 16299, which initially was ServerCore - and we know that ServerFull was never released? Would try tonight. At first I tried offline - to a sysprepped VHD image, created via Convert-WindowsImage. But it started an UI dialog of W10 style - create user, choose country - and fails on one of steps, never coming to logon. So I decided to do online. Should I do offline, after first boot to VM? I originally want a sysprepped image with GUI for future use.
i will wait for rs5 which should be server 2019 so i don't have to worry about security, cu monthly patches with this kind of cobbled together desktop experience and other modules added in
I also found this problem, clicking on adding functions and roles, it has been in the state of collecting data.
It's impossible. Why? The GUI added from Client is goog for Desktop Experience only. Most of the Server Roles are short of related GUI packages. For example, The Windows Server Backup of ServerACor is short of Microsoft-Windows-BLB-UI-Package. So it still needs Honolulu - unless you can get and install those Role GUI packages.
The client is used as a server, the enable/disable features are not reacting.I haven't found a way at the moment
Oh, I see. You need to install some necessary Server Roles and related dependencies. It may take you a while to figure out converting Client to working Server.
No worries. But, If you use Client as Server desktop experience, why bother for Server Manager? You can simply swap, basically: 1. Don't install RSAT (just a waste of resources) - manage features via DISM command instead. 2. Windows defender 3. Media features
Ha ha, just feel fun, want to try. 16299 client as a server, if you don't use WindowsTH-RSAT_WS_1709-x64.msu, how to install Manager Serve?
Extract WindowsTH-RSAT_WS_1709-x64.cab, and take reference from it. C:\windows\system32> dir /b D:\Downloads\Windows\WIN10\16299.15\RSAT\WindowsTH-KB2693643-x64\*.mum If 16299, NO way. (You may try packages from 14393 Server.) Use 14393 for reasonable practice.
14393 ServerDatacenter WinSxS\msil_microsoft-windows-servermanager-shell_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.5_none_d5cad7406029ad22\ServerManager.exe I don't know how to get it
Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-UX-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0.cab Then take Update package from CU. e.g. msil_microsoft-windows-servermanager-shell_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.2068_none_1e235ba0a3fe682b But it is not the only package for Server Manager... Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-Core-Package Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-PSH-Cmdlets-Package Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-UX-ARW-Plugins-Package
Microsoft-Windows-ServerManager-UX-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0.cab Look at the content, only with ServerManager.ink, no ServerManager.exe
