The computer is too powerful, need to slow it down to run Windows PE 2.x.

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/953700 is one of the more interesting KB articles I've read in a while.  It describes a problem where some server-class machines with multiple CPUs and certain Broadcom network adapters and firmware suffer from slow network performance.  The workaround:  Force Windows PE 2.x to run on only one CPU and to ignore all the others.  If you've seen this, check out the KB article.

  Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for your comment on my recent post. I  hope that with the video, people can get a better perception on how MDT can help them deploying Server Core ;) Regards, Priscila Silva (MCS Brazil)
