HPE branded Windows Server 2016 OEM bios lock on Hyper-V server 2016 Host
Hi,
I tryed to install Win server 2016 as a VM on a Hyper-v server 2016 Host but get the following erro:
"Failed Bios Lock: "
Tried to solve with a solution posted for Win server 2008 and win server 2012 in this same HPE community:
but it didn't work.
I can find a solution for VMWare host, but what I need is for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 on a Hyper-V server 2016 Host.
Can some one Help?
Thanks

Re: HPE branded Windows Server 2016 OEM bios lock on Hyper-V server 2016 Host
Hi again,
Forgot to past all the text of the error message
“Failed BIOS Lock: This installation media may be used only on hardware manufactured by: Hewlett Packard Enterprise.”
The Hyper-V Server 2016 is installed on a HPE DL380 Gen10 machine and when trying to install a VM with the HPE Windows Server 2016 (ROK) DVD .iso image, I get that error.

Re: HPE branded Windows Server 2016 OEM bios lock on Hyper-V server 2016 Host
if you follow the steps as per installing Windows Server 2012 with the registry entry it works. i just used it myself
– Execute the following command from the command prompt if the guest operating system is HP-branded Windows Server 2012/2016: Reg Add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization” /v BiosLockString /t REG_SZ /d “HP ”
NOTE: In the following command line after the word “HP” there are 30 blank spaces before the quotation mark that must be entered as part of the command.
