Windows VPS
Setting up
If the customer has bought a VPS with a Windows license, we need to do a few extra steps:
- Log in to the physical node the customer has bought a VPS on.
- The user's Xen account might not exist, so type something like useradd --home /var/lib/dtc-xen/ttyssh_home/xenXX -m -s /usr/bin/dtc-xen_userconsole -g xenusers xenXX where XX is the VPS number.
- Type ln -s /usr/share/dtc-xen-hvm/Windows_*.iso /var/lib/dtc-xen/ttyssh_home/xenXX/ where XX is the VPS number.
Performing Windows Install for Customer
Each user is entitled to ask us to install Windows for them. We used to copy across a pre-created Windows disk image but this proved to be unreliable. Unfortunately, you will need to go through the same process as the user in order to install Windows on their VPS.
Signed Drivers
Signed PV drivers are available at Univention. We haven't tested these yet, but it would be useful for users that require a 64 bit Windows.
