Installing Windows Server 2022 - error 0xc0e90002

[davurleon]

Hi!

I have recently bought a Microserver Gen10 Plus v1, and I want to use Windows Server 2022 on it.

However, if I try to install from a freshly downloaded iso from Microsoft, written to USB via Rufus (I can't use HPs own USB tool as it does not support USB3) I get the above error as soon as the installer starts.

The info section says: An unexpected error has occured.

I can read several other places that this has to du with the UEFI/Secure Boot option, so I have restored default UEFI, I have cleared all keys in Secure Boot, have turned off Secure Boot but to no avail.

Does anyone have a good idea for me to get the software installed?

Hi davurleon,
     If rufus is not working. Pleae try with USBKey or Ventoy.  Please refer this post.

  Please make a note that -
* Try with new USB stick which supports USB3 along with USB utility tool.
* It is better to keep the .iso file in the server where the USB is connected.
* Sometimes you may forget to make it bootable. Sometime, people may copy the .iso image directly to USB, which will not work.

Please give KUDOS and mark as 'Accepted solution' if my post worked.

Thank you for your reply.

However it changes nothing, I still get the same error when I try to install...

Hi davurleon,
Please clarify in which step are you getting an issue -

Step 1 : Verify the USB stick is working fine ? 
Step 2 : Create USB bootable disk of WIndows ISO image using tools such as rufus, HPE Utility etc. Refer the link.
Step 3 : Configure the BIOS to boot from USB drive. (Configurations such as enabling USB, making USB device as first boot device etc.)
Step 4 : Verify whether the boot menu is showing the USB drive.  If yes, start booting it.

Hi Shiva

I appreciate your answer, but I think that you have not fully read what my problem is.

I have the USB, it works in another computer and I also can boot from it on my Microserver, however, as soon as the installer starts it throws the 0xc0e90002 error that I have read several places has something to do with the UEFI settings or something.
