Disable driver signing in Server 2008 RC0?

[Guest Kelly [MCSE]]

Hey everyone...I've tried everything to disable driver signing in

Server 2008 Enterprise RC0 x64 and cannot do it. I've used the

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and I've used

GPEdit.msc to disable driver signing in the Local GPO, but it still

will not let the driver run. (It is for VMWare Server 1.0.4, which

works find on Server 2003 x86) I suppose I could install the x86

version of Server 2008, and I'm sure it will run fine, but everything

is going 64-bit anyways, and I'd like to head in that direction. I've

read about the 'F8 solution' (pressing F8 on boot and disabling driver

signing through there), but this server is remote and cannot be F8'ed

everything it is booting. Anyone have any other solutions/ideas?

 

Thanks everyone!

Hey Kelly,

 

What about:

Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON

?

Jabez:

 

Thanks for the idea. Tried it and still nothing. Now, as far as

these BCD changes go, I've been running the command and rebooting and

then checking to see if the service that depends on the driver is

starting and they won't. I've also tried to run the command and then

manually start the service immediately, still nothing. Am I missing

something or does Server 2008 just not allow you to turn that off?
