Microsoft Deployment and Hyper-V
Now that I'm up and running with Hyper-V on my laptop, I decided to put together a LiteTouch demo using the latest Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). In the process, I discovered two annoying things concerning the so-called Uberbug.
- The Hyper-V RC1 emulated BIOS for Windows XP is susceptible to the Uberbug.
- Windows XP SP3 does not include the published fix from Microsoft for the Uberbug in Windows XP SP2: KB931760. The article specifically identifies only SP2 so I doubt that the patch would work on SP3 without breaking other things.
While neither problem is a show-stopper and both are easy to fix via the Set Diskpart BIOS Compatibility Mode task sequence task, it is still annoying that they were not accounted for or addressed.
Other than that, no issues. Hyper-V rocks BTW.
