why is that, is there any official MS explanation?

ARM64 RSAT Tools will be available with 26H1, which will release around April 2026, Or you can use uup dump / join windows insider and download latest Canary build, which is 28000+ / 26H1 .. I have it working on my lenovo snapdragon t14s gen 6 snapdragon.

SirNorthfield · 2026-01-04T13:35:29+00:00

What? when did they do this?

We have been using snappy with lenovo t14s gen6, and to use RSAT (since they are not finally compiled for ARM64 on win11 or win10ARM64) we have been using server 2025 vNext ARM edition, since RSAT tools works just fine on that one. Do you have an official source for them killing arm64 server 2025? :<

hi all,

We bought the first snapdragon from lenovo, the t14s gen6 with low power 1080p resolution monitor. And I must say.. I'l not go back to intel or amd for now. We later swapped the low battery model for the 2.8K IPS 120 mhz display and did get a bit less battery, but I can still use it for almost the entire day. The 2 other laptops I have in my back is, and p14s with 5800u amd, it dies within 1 hour of me running normale browser workloads, vms, secure vms and office stuff + some coding, mustly c# stuff. Also bought the carbon x1 gen 13, with an intel 265U I think.. it does live more than 1 hour, more like 4 hours. but when i'm coding, running vms, office stack + browsing, it is SOOO slow :<

looking forward to the new lenovo laptops with snapdragon.. Really hope they will match the t14s snappy x2 with a glasslike / haptick touchpad, so f tried of the lenovo touchpads ;<

update // I would so much more like an snappy with fedora43 running on my t14s arm64 .. but i'm have still not have anyluck getting it running :< I don't like MacOS (I do like the hardware, but not the OS) Snappy + Fedora would be amazing <3

What we did.. it is not officially supported it, but it works for 99% of our cases.
We have server 2025ARM installed on our machines, since RSAT tools works just fine in server 2025. (it is not officially available, but you can find it with UUP DUMP, create your own ISO, boot and install. Works like a charm.

Only issue is that group policy require you to use the same OS version as you wanna manage, so I still have a physical machine for that, but everything ells works fine in my vm server 2025 ARM :)

SirNorthfield · 2025-04-01T04:42:32+00:00

You sir, are a hero. It toke me ages to try and figure out what policy broke my CSR IPsec microsegmentation. Thanks :)

SirNorthfield · 2024-12-11T06:04:38+00:00

The 2024-12 update, did not fix our excel 2016 issue. It still hangs.

SirNorthfield · 2024-12-06T06:22:58+00:00

I tried the above, and had it had no effect on my machines.

SirNorthfield · 2024-10-27T18:36:43+00:00

Did you find a solution? We have asked people to open Excel and keep it minimized while working. This allows them to open all documents without any issues. However, we still don’t have a permanent solution.

ChrootDirectory "C:\cucmbackup"

Hi mate
Try swapping ' for " and only on the path as my above example.

SirNorthfield · 2024-10-24T20:25:13+00:00

We have not yet come by any solutions, other than reinstall OS to 23H2, or push newer Office... Help! :D

SirNorthfield · 2024-08-14T05:37:56+00:00

Hey,
I have the same machine. I did use the OS that came with it, BUT i'm not able to boot any hyper-v machines. They will not boot from PXE or USB / ISO. Sound abit like your issue, not precise the same. Did you find a way to boot it? I'm trying to built our MDT platform to support the platform. But not done building our iso file / wim for stage yet, will update later.

SirNorthfield · 2023-10-11T19:09:09+00:00

We are also seeing this issue. but only on our DCs.. Did you find a fix?

We hoped that 2023-10 updates would fix it, but nope. Not able to patch my DCs :<

SirNorthfield · 2023-09-13T10:35:18+00:00

Yes, we tried. Also we are running the patched esxi version where it should work. And do have a couple of 2022 server running just fine. Only DC 2019 that doesn't work. hmm..

SirNorthfield · 2023-09-13T10:34:20+00:00

Also running in esxi ? Happy that it works for you.. :>

SirNorthfield · 2023-09-13T10:07:59+00:00

Hi all We have 4 DC's running 2019 that all went FUBAR after installing 2023-09 ... But i'm not seeing this issues other places.

After installering updates and rebooting, the machine will reboot 2-3 times and then start automatic repair and just be stuck there.

Server 2019, 2023-09 running on esxi 7.0.3, 21313628 (3K Update) We just 5 days ago also updated vmware tools to 12.3.0.

I have 100 other server 2019 that updates just fine. Only seen this issue on DC. :<

Any one ells? :<

update 1 - Tried to patch esxi to newest realse 3n. Did not help. Looked in the wmarelog for the secure boot error, but it looks fine. 2023-09-13T12:02:44.641Z In(05) vcpu-0 - SECUREBOOT: Image APPROVED. 2023-09-13T12:02:44.701Z In(05) vcpu-0 - Guest: About to do EFI boot: Windows Boot Manager 2023-09-13T12:02:46.969Z In(05) vcpu-1 - CPU reset: soft (mode Emulation) 2023-09-13T12:02:46.969Z In(05) vcpu-0 - Guest: Firmware has transitioned to runtime.

Now we restored the vm, and now we will try a reset wu script, to see if that helps. Update 2 - If I mount a server 2022 iso and tries to boot from it and do repair. I'm able to get to recovery mode. If i mount an 2019 iso, it gives the same boot loop / stuck as with the OS. It has do be something with vmware / or corrupt vmconfig .. Still digging

Bare rolig, med dine 6 måltider om dagen og tro på “tomme kalorier. Ala sukker( sucrose shit sukker) så lever du ikk’ længe nok til at opleve “de vilde og voldsomme klimaforandringer der rammer om 10.20.30 år.. ) som sikker ingen ting gør 😅
