Check for iso integrity downloaded from Microsoft for support on client machines that

[espectro2]

When a client has a computer with windows pre installed this iso image that came from the factory even formatting reset restoring system does not work well ie windows does not work well with iso that came from factory as I can check the integrity of microsoft iso in ubuntu to know if there was no violation in the downloaded iso image?

Thread moved to Windows, a more appropriate forum.

In Ubuntu terminal,

sudo md5sum /path/to/file.iso

and press enter
Minutes later...google the hash md5sum gives you.


Verification is another story.
Get it from MS directly?

Keep in mind this is probably an OEM supplied ISO and could include software not native to Windows. It's likely only the OEM could provide the ISO checksum.

technically I have a client with windows installed already I made recovery process through the manufacturer's recovery to do a clean installation I can download an iso do the installation can not?
my doubt is with microsoft iso in ubuntu how to check for integrity ie if Iso was not corrupted during download do this with an ISO windows using ubuntu?

Verifying an iso on Ubuntu or Linux was explained to you in post #3 above. That command, run properly will produce an md5sum which you then compare to the md5sum for that specific iso file which is going to be available from and on the microsoft site and nowhere else.

I understood this command
sudo md5sum /path/to/file.iso

You should be able to run checksums without root or sudo on any file that's readable by you normally.
Example: I can run without root to see the hash for my .conkyrc file

sha256sum .conkyrc
befddf2b16e4e2b380ed100f36ee8bfb0eccc0328fe95d1245e85c665602599b  .conkyrc

but if I try a checksum on a file that requires root to view then i get something this:

sha256sum /etc/shadow
sha256sum: /etc/shadow: Permission denied

(I used the shadow file since that's a known file that is only readable by root.)

Even though I used sha256sum, the same applies to any checksum.
