SMH!Īll the same, I was stuck and found your article and it worked flawlessly. So would seem to me that Microsoft has failed in providing the ability to create installation media for their OS’s without the need of obtaining a 3rd party software to create your installation media. What is Microsoft’s “intended” installation method for this? Clearly it is not able to be copied to USB/DVD just like that.

In Microsoft’s VLC site I can download the ISO. He sends me just the license file and no media. Or is this a “work-around” to a solution that Microsoft has never provided? Meaning…I just ordered Server 2016 from my authorized rep. Interesting that Microsoft has not modified their Media Tool to do this for us, or to have the file limited to 4gb in the first place…so when we are copying files over to USB it would not have issues as the files are proportional to FAT32. That worked perfectly for me using DISM in elevated PS. iso file in c:\downloads, do I change the “e:\sources\” from your example to “c:\downloads\sources”? In your example you use dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:e:\sources\install.wim / SWMFile:k:\sources\install.swm /FileSize:4096 I’m not an IT professional but typically can figure things out. I’m struggling with following the dism command. I’m trying to copy it to a DVR or USB but I can’t as I found out in your blog. The good news is I was able to use reward points to purchase the OS. When I looked at my invoice, it said no OS installed. I thought I ordered it with Windows Server 2016 on it but when I got the server I found out it didn’t have an OS installed.

I purchased a file server for a non-profit that I volunteer for.
