* When you select the "No Change" option for Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) Activation, under Boot sequence and security tab,
the TPM activation token will not be saved to the ".ini" file.
* "Digitally sign communications" enabled Windows share on a
system running on Windows cannot be accessed. To access the
share, disable this feature on the Windows system.
* When you insert multiple USB keys into your system, Systems
Build and Update Utility uses the last inserted USB key
which has a repository that is applicable to the platform
to which your system belongs and is compatible with the
Systems Build and Update Utility repository.
* When user selects date in Date time page during "Server OS Installation"
and moves furthur, the new values will be stored in server but not
reflected in UI when he clicks back. This is because SBUU shows current time.
* OS Installation: Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bit), VMware apply options
screen will not have OS ISO loation specified as these installation require
OS ISO at runtime when OS is getting installed. SBUU will boot to hard disk
and then ask for OS ISO DVD and then user has to supply it. These
installations do not work on network. They are for stand alone servers.
* When the User selects options from the Hardware Config screen which are
not supported on the current system under deployment, the apply operation
may fail during execution and the option will not be applied on the system.
* When the User selects to use Operating System ISO's from network location
and during copy operation, if the network is disconnected for a while and
then reconnected, in case of NFS shares, it will resume the copy operation
but, in case of SMB/Windows share, it will not resume the copy operation.
Disconnection on a SMB/Windows share will result in an error and user has
to reboot and re-run the operation.
* The values configured in the multi-sys-config.csv file will be applied
only during execution. Only those options are applied that are shown
during configuration time.
However, options that are not shown during configuration, but are part of
multi-sys-config.csv file will be ignored.
Note: If there is any overlap in the settings between Configuration GUI
and multi-sys-config.csv file, then settings in multi-sys-config.csv
file will override those made in the GUI.
* The installation times for different versions of the Windows Server 2008
operating system will vary considerably. This is because of the differences
in the software and drivers utilized in different versions of the Windows
Server 2008 operating systems and the capabilities of the installation platform.
On the "Installing Windows" screen, the "Completing installation" step,
where the drivers are installed, may take considerable time to complete.
