VMware Tools and Hardware Version upgrade on Windows Server Core Domain Controller
Recently I was “playing” a bit with Windows Server 2008 R2 Core VMware Tools and Virtual Hardware upgrade from version 3.5 to 4.1. Migration went fine from one environment to another, but the rest went totally wrong. I got immediately BSOD - Blue Screen Of Death.
My patient was Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Active Directory domain controller with database on separate disk.
