Windows NVMe-oF Initiator connect error
Hi everyone, I am trying to test the new Windows NVMe-oF Initiator within build 29550.1000 but I am not able to connect to a remote storage array - getting the error "IOCTL_NVMEOF_CONNECT_CONTROLLER failed with error code 0x1f" (see screenshot). Any idea what does this error mean or what can be wrong?b26085 - Windows Server 2025 and OneDrive integration appears to have issues
Dear Windows Server Insider community, Windows Server Team, today I have tried the following: - Install fresh WS 2025 b26085 - executed winget upgrade --all this will upgrade winget and terminal to the latest version - winget install OneDrive --source winget OneDrive got successfully installed As I connected MS Edge to my MSA the SSO worked fine for OneDrive PS C:\Users\Administrator> winget install onedrive -s winget Found Microsoft OneDrive [Microsoft.OneDrive] Version 22.131.0619.0001 This application is licensed to you by its owner.

Experiences Creating a CA with ML‑DSA Using Microsoft Smart Card Key Storage Provider (ADCS / PQC)
Hi all, I’m exploring the possibility of using post‑quantum cryptography within an Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) environment in the Insider release 29550. Specifically, I’m interested in creating a Certificate Authority (CA) where the CA’s key material is generated and stored using a Microsoft Smart Card Key Storage Provider (KSP) with support for ML‑DSA. This is an option selectable in the "Specify the cryptographic options". Has anyone in the community successfully done the following: Created a CA using ML‑DSA: Micosoft Smart Card KSP as the cryptographic provider? If so, what smart card or hardware token did you use that supports ML‑DSA via the Microsoft Smart Card KSP? (e.g., specific vendor and/or model that exposes ML‑DSA support correctly to Windows) Is it actually possible to create a CA using ML‑DSA as the cryptographic provider? If yes, what are the key steps or gotchas? What changes when ML‑DSA is used as the CA key provider compared to traditional providers like RSA/ECC? Any differences in certificate creation, enrollment, templates, compatibility with clients, etc.? Is there any official documentation for using ML‑DSA or PQC with ADCS? Are there other post‑quantum cryptographic (PQC) options already supported or coming soon in ADCS?Build 29550 Bare Metal ReFS Boot: Server Roles installation fails with 0xc004000d and/or 0x800f0922
When installing Windows Server Build 29550 on Bare Metal with the OS drive (C:) formatted as ReFS, the installation of core Server Roles (DHCP, Hyper-V, DNS, Windows Server Backup) fails consistently. Error returned by PowerShell (Install-WindowsFeature) and/or Server Manager: 0xc004000d (One or several parent features are disabled). CBS.log shows TiWorker failing with [HRESULT = 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED]. Troubleshooting done: Same ISO on KVM (formatted as NTFS) works perfectly. Same hardware, formatted as ReFS on older Build 29531, worked perfectly. "Leaf" features like Media Foundation install fine, but complex roles fail. sfc /scannow did not find any integrity violation DISM RestoreHealth fails with 0x80004005 Conclusion: There is a CBS / Hard Link regression when reading the Component Store (WinSxS) on a ReFS boot drive in build 29550.
Capabilities of NVMe-oF so far?
Started playing around with NVMe-oF last night and got a successful connection to TrueNAS. I'm wondering what the current capabilities/limitations are. As far as I can tell you can't cluster the disk which is what I was primarily interested in. I was able to connect the same NQN endpoint to two servers but the WSFC cluster wouldn't detect it as a cluster available disk. Also the disks seems to disappear on every reboot and has to be set up again, so is there no auto-mount yet? I understand this is early preview so I don't have many expectations, just would like some clarity. Thank you.
