Going on vacation this year? Here are some tools to find high speed access in the nearest town. I like the PluggedInns the best but GeekTels is also nice...
So I used Windows 2008R2 with UNIX services to provide my ISO share to my testlab ESXi server. I upgraded to Windows 2012 doing an in-place upgrade. This broke the configuration and I have been spinning in a circle with no luck, have read blogs, tech articles, and today I finally fixed it.

Then run this at a CMD prompt: rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction ACPIAPIC_MP_HAL 128 %windir%\inf\hal.inf Hope this finds its way to help someone else.
