Windows 8.1 UEFI / GPT questions

[A Former User]

First, perhaps I’m missing the search feature…

I’m doing a complete reimage on 500+ UEFI Windows 8.1 tablets and laptops. (Lenovo Yoga 11e and TAB2) and I figured FOG would be a great way to get it going quickly since I can’t get them to boot with WDS.

Adding to the complications (which I’m new to, but perhaps you all are aware of) is that I need to use UEFI for Windows 8.1 licensing / activation. So I don’t think I can do a MBR / BIOS install, I’m not sure if the licensing will work properly.

I am able to get the system to PXE boot, and even capture an image so FOG is working.

I’m starting from scratch here, I can make any changes needed to get this to work. What is the recommended method for imaging Windows 8.1 and getting licensed via UEFI?

I apologize, the search feature on our (new) forum has been temporarily disabled. It sometimes crashes the site…

anyways…

Can you give these threads a quick once-through?

For this endeavor, if you’re not using Trunk, I’d recommend getting it.
