Install Windows On A Kimsufi, SoYouStart Or Other Server Completely Free

December 24, 2016 by Joodle 83 Comments

install windows on kimsufi

A donation, either small or big, is very much appreciated and will go towards the development of up to date and new Windows Templates.

Below are the download links including the commands to install Windows on your server.

If you have any questions, you can email me at joodle [at] joodle.nl

Steps to install these templates on your server.

  • Step 1: Boot your server into rescue mode, make sure choose rescue64-pro, FreeBSD rescue system will not work
  • Step 2: Disable monitoring and reboot your server and wait till OVH sends you an email with the rescue details
  • Step 3: Use PuTTy (or some other SSH tool) to connect to your server using the username and password which you can find in the rescue email
  • Step 4: Copy the command below and paste it in the terminal, get a coffee or something else, installation take some time depending on the speed of your server
  • Step 5: Once done, enable boot from HDD again and reboot your server, wait till it pings and you can login using the username and password provided at the end of this post

      You need to activate the windows – this is common issue if your windows is not activated with a proper key.

      Hi
      I also worry about the installation happening super well via the rescue but no response to the ping.

      I have 3 sda via fdisk -1 sda1 / sda2 / sda3 to know that the 2TO are on sda2 I tried the one in the command but nothing to do on a KS-4C

    Thank you! I understand wanting to keep the C: drive as small as possible but Windows 10 really can’t handle only having 14.5GB on the C drive. Trying to install any updates eats up all of the drive and then the updates fail. I symlinked the Windows update folder to a second drive and even then Windows starts doing who knows what and eats up 1.5GB of the 3GB left on the C drive. The updates haven’t even installed yet.

    Ran into a problem using KS-12 Server – Intel W3520 – 32GB (BHS/Canada)
    Remote Desktop Connection The Function requested is not supported

    Solution:
    Solution 2: Using Group Policy
    Go to Run โ€“> gpedit.msc to open Group Policy Editor.
    Go to the following policy path:
    Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation
    From the right-hand pane, open Encryption Oracle Remediation.
    Select Enabled and set the protection level to Vulnerable.
    Go to the command prompt on your machine and run the following command:
    gpupdate /force
    This will apply the group policy immediately and you will be able to use Remote Desktop without restarting the computer.

    I tried to install Win2012 server on KS-3 Server – Atom N2800 – 4GB DDR3 1066 MHz – 2To SATA
    After first install and 2 or 3 restarts all worked fine, I also added my own key.
    Then after a reboot, I could no more connect to windows server over RDP, on Kimsufi dashboard all looked ok, no ping anymore … Is such thing happens how can we connect to the server and try to solve a reboot problem if RDP don’t show anything ? I reinstalled the server but i can not do this in future as I want to store data on it.

After the reboot, I waited a few hours, unfortunately the server is offline all the time, it does not ping, subsequent restarts and waiting does not help. I will add that I used to install the system from this manual many times and there were no problems. Thank you very much in advance for your help and best regards.
