Have you disabled it, then re-enabled it.

Try uninstalling the USBHost Drivers and reinstalling. I've seen issues with them when stuff wasnt detected before.

Run Sconfig and enable remote administration from there again.

Waiting for the burrito lady to come by work! MMM Bacon Egg and Cheese burrito!

@brianlittlejohn and home as well. Just to be thorough.

@AVI-NetworkGuy Yea, you can't upgrade enterprise version, only professional

Yeah, this is my current problem... I'm going to have to manually upgrade all of my win7 and win 8 to win 10... Then use my VL to roll images... What a pain!

I think he just has pcs on both win 7 & 8, not that he has to go through each version.

@scottalanmiller No, i went straight from 7 to 10 on my desktop

Hmmmm... we'll need @Dashrender to explain what is his sticking point in the upgrade process.

I think his sticking point is he has to manually go to each machine initially to upgrade them.

@scottalanmiller No, i went straight from 7 to 10 on my desktop

@brianlittlejohn said:

@scottalanmiller I don't think there is a free upgrade path to 8.1 only directly to 10

How would that help his situation then? Once he has the upgrade rights, just jump to 10. I must be missing something.

I may be missing something, but there is a free path from 7 to 10 as well. Just if you are wanting to take advantage of the free upgrade and have imaging rights you have to manually do the upgrade from 7 to 10 before you are allowed to image.

You cannot image 200 machines with OEM Windows 7 to Windows 10 by only purchasing 1 Windows 10 VL.

Yeah, this is my current problem... I'm going to have to manually upgrade all of my win7 and win 8 to win 10... Then use my VL to roll images... What a pain!

Is that true? Is that because you have some path that by doing it manually MS will grant you upgrade rights but only one version at a time? What is making this the case?

I remember a SW thread where Chris from Microsoft addressed this, and to upgrade your machines to 10 and image them, you have to manually run the update to 10, then go back and re-image.

There is. I cant browse, FB is blocked.

WIth virtualization you license Microsoft Server in terms of capacity of that host for windows VMs. If you have a typical host(2 or less processors) and the most VMs you will ever run on it in any situation(production, failover, maintenance, etc) is 2vm's, you will need 1 Standard Server License for that host. You have to apply that to all hosts. You are no longer licensing VMs, you are licensing what the host can run on it.
