timbo343 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 As keen as i am to get my hands on LTSB2016 i checked my VLSC last night to see if it had been released. Sadly, theres nothing there however the LTSB2016 MAK is sat there waiting to be used. Would MS release over the weekend or would they wait until monday morning?
FN-GM Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Remember we are ahead of the USA time wise. At the time of this post it was still 30th September in Redmond 1
Arthur Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Remember we are ahead of the USA time wise. I wonder if Remond has heard of UTC? We're only one hour ahead then.
FN-GM Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 I wonder if Remond has heard of UTC? We're only one hour ahead then. Many people in the USA are not aware there are other countries in the world. 3
Arthur Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Many people in the USA are not aware there are other countries in the world. Very true.
timbo343 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Posted October 1, 2016 Downloading LTSB2016 now. Lets hope its a greater improvement than LTSB2015.
AJWhite1970 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Mine has just appeared along with both MAK and KMS keys. Downloading now, playing with it on Monday....
Arthur Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Let's hope it's a greater improvement than LTSB 2015. Yep!
timbo343 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) First problem, file explorer missing from the start menu. Have to get to it via windows system. I thought i read somewhere that edge would be included in the release too. I cant seem to find it. No feedback icon or contact support either Edited October 2, 2016 by timbo343
Arthur Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Have to get to it via windows system. It's quicker to search for it (Windows key, type 'File', press Enter) or find it on the Win+X menu (Windows key + X E).
AJWhite1970 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Have updated my 2015LTSB base image to 2016, apart from explorer constantly freezing until I managed to get the updates on it (used WSUSOffline in the end) and have run the latest version of UWT to turn off a few "features" all looks good.
ColinP Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Has anyone been able to try mandatory profiles yet?
Simcfc73 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 I've installed it on one PC, maybe its just my imagination but it seems alot quicker that EDU. LTSB with classic shell is rather nice (touch wood).... wait a minute... its just W7
Joanne Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Downloading now. If it has the store that means I can get minecraft for education on there. Awww yisss.
Arthur Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 If it has the store that means I can get minecraft for education on there. It doesn't out-of-the-box, but it's easy to add. 1

Simcfc73 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I was thinking the same. It just seems to work. Edit.. ill regret saying that soon. First one went perfectly, second one hung after clicking the 'use express settings' button for ages. Really weird, black screen with mouse (like its on extended monitor view)...then it rebooted and looped with the express settings screen over and over again. I removed the graphics card and left it on the black screen and went home....managed to remote in ok but not sure how long its taken to complete. Funny thing is when I remoted in the computer was at the select active directory or azure selection screen, didn't know you could do that. (it was deployed using WDS) PS. I deployed 150 W10 using EDU.... tempted to wipe them out and stick this on if I can work out the answer files in WDS. Edited October 4, 2016 by Simcfc73

AndiMarv Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I've just found out that in order to activate the Windows 10 LTSB 2016 the Server 2016 KMS key needs to be installed on the activation server, It wasn't displayed in my VLSC at first but a quick call to M'$oft sorted that.

Damn, I asked for the Windows 10 LTSB key which they sent out thinking that would be enough. I take it that I just need to ask fro the Server 2016 KMS key
ColinP Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 It doesn't out-of-the-box, but it's easy to add. How....
DrCheese Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 They've sent me the KMS key, but dispite having various updates installed (KB305168/KB3172614) it still throws up errors saying it can't install the key.. grrr!

Do you know what the key was called? I have Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB KMS - won't install & Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10 - Which is what we had to install to activate RTM builds of WIndows 10, but that won't activate the 2016 releases. grrr!
AndiMarv Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I will want to activate server 2016 at some point so I've got the server 2016 key installed which activates the LTSB 2016 also.
