Microsoft has released the final version of the Windows Server 2016.I thought that it might be a good idea to create a USB stick which can be used as a source to install Windows Server 2016 OS to other servers/workstations.

Installing a new OS—whether it's OS X or Windows—gets a bit tedious for systems administrators, especially after hundreds of installs. While deployment technologies, such as DeployStudio and SCCM, exist to ease the workload, sometimes for a one-off or family member's computer, it's nice to have a simple solution. Arguably, it doesn't get much simpler than a USB flash drive-based installer. Tiny and lightweight, nothing beats the portability of a flash drive! Plus with the larger storage capacities available, it's a cinch to store multiple operating systems on one drive, as opposed to carrying one CD/DVD for each flavor of OS.
In light of recent initiatives, such as BYOD taking charge, as alternatives to dedicated PCs. And while OS X is quite capable of performing on its own—depending on the type of business—a reliance on some Windows-only apps might find IT supporting both operating systems.
Note:.NET may be required to be enabled as the utility requires.NET 2.0 To enable.NET 2.0 simply go to Control Panel and enable.NET Framework 3.5 (see screenshot below) Load Windows onto the USB When the Utility is started, a four step wizard begins. Step one asks for the Windows ISO source file. This will be the Windows distribution that will be copied and installed onto the USB drive.
Select “USB Device”. DVD is also an option for creating bootable DVD disks.
Make sure the correct USB drive is selected. The contents of the USB drive will be destroyed.
Create the USB Drive Select “Begin Copying” to create the USB bootable drive. The utility gives you a chance to cancel, otherwise select Erase USB Device.
You are given one more chance to back out. On Step four, the USB drive is partitioned, formatted and Windows is unloaded, and the USB drive is configured as a bootable device. And the USB drive is complete. Either exit or create another Windows setup distribution.
To install Windows from the USB, boot a computer from the USB and the Windows Installer OS will initiate the Windows Installation.
