<xmlns:texthelpns rwthpgen="1">I did try to install a GSS client to a Windows 2012r2 server, but didn't have much luck when attempting a console image.</xmlns:texthelpns>
The system moaned about installing the client saying that it was unsupported but might work, and this then connected back to the Console OK. However, when it came to copy the pre boot partition, it just didn't. I gave up and ran an image manually from an WinPE enviroment from an ISO.
Even though the machines are based on BIOS booting and not UEFI, looks like we may still require the patch mantioned above. However, our maintenace has now lapsed so we are looking to tools such as MDT and WDS.
