Booting a VMWare VM from USB

[Kidge]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to boot a VMWare Vshpere 6 VM from USB to install Server 2012 Essentials and then run a cfg.inf file?

I've tried passing through the USB stick which i've created a bootable iso on but it just doesn't boot in to it.

Any ideas? or any other alternatives to installing essentials with .com dns name as Start-WSSConfigurationService isn't showing as an available command.

Yeah i'm able to boot from an ISO which i have in my datastore but want to boot from the USB so it then runs the cfg.inf file during install.

Ah awesome, that actually worked!

God knows what i had been doing before but it was not going in to that cfg.inf file but now it has so happy days cheers Little Crow i can finally sleep knowing its solved haha
