Windows 8/Server 2012 on VMWare ESXi
by Travis on Oct.21, 2012, under Tech Stuff
Just a couple of quick notes if you’re installing windows 8/server 2012 on VMWare ESXi.
1. Don’t even bother on anything sub 5.0, specifically patched with ESXi500-201112001 (Patch 02). (reference here)
2. When setting up your virtual machine, go into the advanced options and set the system for EFI boot rather than BIOS boot.
Spent a couple hours trying to figure this out so I figured I’d post up the two pieces to my resolution.
