I am trying to install windows 2012 r2 via MDT to NUC . However I am having problems with the network driver. Intel did not write support for windows server into the driver. I have found posts on the internet on how to modify the .inf file and to disable driver signing. But this is a manual process and defeats the object of mdt.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure which version of the NUC you're using, but I'm running the D54250WYK in Windows Server 2012 R2 flawlessly:
Right click the network card in Device Manager and go to "Update Driver"
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Select "Intel" under manufacturer and "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM" from the list. (If the driver isn't in the list, try downloading and installing the latest Windows 8.1 x64 NUC network drivers.
Looking at the spec sheets, I'm guessing the I218-V (on the NUC) and I218-LM are the exact same hardware with a different device ID. The I218-V's SKU is specifically to disable Windows Server support.
Note: You can probably follow the same instructions if your NUC has the I217-V Network Adapter (I217-V installed as I217-LM) or some other integrated network adapter following the same naming schema.
I installed windows 10 on my NUC to see what drivers were used then selected them on windows 2012 r2 and it worked just fine. In my case the NUC7i7BNH uses the Intel Ethernet Connection (4) I219-V

I have a machine running on Windows 10 Enterprise edition. The OS has UWF writer protection ON. The network configuration has been applied as per the Microsoft document hosted on the following URL.

The issue that I am facing is with regards to the WiFi configuration as the WiFi configuration won't persist after system restart. Please suggest if I am missing something here.
I'm considering getting a collection of Dell PowerEdge servers. Dell documentation is pretty poor (no surprise there) and I have trouble figuring out if I can go with iDRAC Basic or if I need iDRAC Express or Enterprise.
My need is to install Ubuntu Server (minimal install with SSH is enough). After install all I need is SSH and possibly a remote "reset" button. I can install the OS before taking the system to server room so I don't really need remote OS deployment tools. However, the server does not have a graphics adapter. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with just iDRAC Basic or do I need additional hardware?
#iwork4dell Remote OS deployment implies Virtual Console (like VNC) and Virtual Media (using a remote ISO like a local DVD). These are Enterprise license features. OS deployment tools are are the driver pack that is stored in flash on the server and made available during OS installation to support new hardware on older OSes.
The iDRAC is an integrated VGA adapter so all the Power Edge servers do have a video adapter in them unless you disable it in BIOS. If your willing to attach a keyboard and monitor to the server basic is all you need. You can also upgrade the iDRAC with a license key after purchase.
See http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440743
and http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/idrac-spec-sheet.pdf
IDRAC is possible, just you can open gui of idrac and then launch on the online server. You can add the iso file on virtual server.
OK, I am having a problem setting up a virtual machine in Hyper-V, I’m not getting the use of the mouse. When I connect to the machine from Hyper-V and click somewhere I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session.
The mouse is available in a Remote Desktop session when integration services are installed in the guest operating system.
If I try the same from Virtual Machine Manager I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
The mouse is unavailable in a Remote Desktop session when virtual guest services are not installed in the guest operating system.
The operating system is Vista Ultimate x86 Service Pack 2.
I have installed the integration services disk (Action | Insert Integration Services Setup Disk). This runs through the installation, says it was successful and prompts for a restart. After the restart I log in, click on something and get the same error above.
I have been Googling and as a result I have tried:
Detecting the HAL
Adding a 2nd CPU
Installed all available Windows updates
Trying installing the integration services again by running as administrator
Building a new Vista machine
Importing a Vista .vhd file from VirtualBox
Nothing. No joy.
Does anyone know how I can allow my Vista machine to accept the mouse?
Thank you.
This might sound trivial, but have you tried enabling "Guest Services" on the Vista VM? Here is how you can do it:
* From Hyper-V manager, right click on the Vista VM and go to Settings
* Management > Integration Services > Check "Guest Services".
If that does not help, let me know the version of your Windows host and also the result of following Powershell cmdlet (You need to execute this when VM is running):
Get-VM -Name <Your VM Name> | Select IntegrationServicesVersion, IntegrationServicesState
Typically, attaching the ISO file from Host's "C:\Windows\System32\vmguest.iso" and running the Setup from inside the VM should enable Mouse on Vista VMs. This is automatically done when you do "Insert Integration Services Setup Disk" action.
Hopefully it is not too late. First of all, you need to turn off the VM, and change the OS type to Vista in VM summary. Then you are allowed to install Virtual Guest Services. After installation, issue disappeared.
Basically I think the issue is from the fact that Hyper-V was not to identify the OS correctly.
I added all the hyper-v system devices in manually. Check with another working VM to see what system devices are not shown. Re-started and it worked fine.
I am trying to connect an Windows CE 5.0 device through a cradle that only has an ethernet output to an XP machine. I am currently using a network crossover cable but I cannot seem to find out how to do this.
Which version of active sync should I be using? and how do I do this?
Any advice would be great!

IIRC ActiveSync non longer supports network connectivity
My Clearcase Version: 7.1.0 .
My os is windows 7, after I installed Clearcase. I couldn't create a dynamic view by using Create View.And I found that when i start clearcase service from control panel, there is only two service.
Is there any ways to correct this problem except to download a higher version.
ClearCase 7.1.2 is deployed on our Windows 7 at work.
However, when I see that there is only two services, that means MVFS (which is a device, not a driver) has failed to install properly.
The usual fix is to uninstall and reinstall ClearCase.
But there is no guarantee for 7.1.0.
The OP adds:
I have reinstall it three times, but the problem still exists
That confirms 7.1.0 is not supported (at least for the dynamic views part) on Windows 7.
As "System Requirements for ClearCase 7.1.x" confirms, Windows7 SP1 actually needs 7.1.2.3 at minimum.
And even then, you can have some issue: " PM54437: Windows 7 64bit MVFS clients flood albd_server of the View Server host with ALBD_FIND_SERVER RPCs" (which needs 7.1.2.6)
So getting the latest 7.1.x is recommended.
In your case though, since it isn't possible to get a version above 7.1.0, you can try and install a Virtual PC Windows Xp on your Windows 7.
Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows (formerly Connectix Virtual PC) is a client based software virtualization application that allows simultaneous operating systems to run on a single PC.
Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
ClearCase does support Virtual PC.
