ML350Gen9 IP2.30.275 server2012r2 "Windows: not supported"

[opteron123]

Hi Everyone,

Every search I have made on this has no reference to the above error or relates to other issues entirely.

Have taken dleviery of new ML350gen9, and in trying to install Server2012r2 Eval iso ( have tried 3 different ISO's at this stage) from Technet, Intelligent Provisioning will not accept them displaying "Windows: not supported" after selecting the source device and "continue".

We have tried:

- ISO from USB.

- "Rufus" install formatted as both FAT and NTFS

- ISO from WIN network share

unfortunately do not haved a DVD drive to use

IP version is 2.30.275, maintenance firmware check shows latest available from HP is 2.30 (so would be a downgrade if reflashed) and all firmwares are latest.

latest ISO tested is:  9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks,

Chris.
