Complete process of Vultr VPS mounting ISO to install Windows 2003 system

General KVM VPS does not allow Windows systems to be built on KVM by default. If our VPS host and account are discovered, there may be certain risks. However, the Vultr VPS host supports user-defined ISO to install Windows systems. Although merchants provide VPS hosts with WIN system solutions, it is difficult for ordinary users to accept it due to the high cost. So we can use the user-defined ISO method to install the Winodws system in a KVM VPS with a minimum of 5 US dollars of 768MB memory and 15GB SSD hard drive.

In the article "Vultr VPS host mounting ISO, installing Windows system tutorial and building VPS", Snail has already shared how to upload the ISO and the process of loading the ISO when creating a VPS plan. It would have been in the previous article. To install WIN2003 together, since many ISOs on the market are invalid and some webmasters do not provide them, the installation part cannot be completed. During the weekend, I would like to thank netizen kana for helping Snail only make this 2003 version and the 2008 version system ISO shared later, and then this installation article was written.

First, check the created Vultr VPS host

Here we can confirm that when Snail wrote this article, he opened the VPS with the 768MB plan. Make sure it is running. Click Manage to enter management.

We have seen the \\"View Console\\" button shown in the picture above. Click to enter, and we can see a pop-up window, a familiar interface for installing the WIN system.

Second, Vultr Windows 2003 system installation process

Seeing the windows installation interface that we are familiar with, not all ISOs provided online can enter this interface. For some, you will see a startup interface with a black background, which means that there is no integrated driver for this ISO. Here we just press ENTER on the keyboard.

The above step is F8 to agree to the terms, so I won’t take a screenshot. The more important thing here is to see that the hard disk has 15GB (my plan only has 15GB), and then press Enter to proceed to the next step.

Choose to format the hard drive here, and then the system will automatically continue.

Here you can quickly copy the windows2003 installation files. After the copy is completed, the installation system will automatically restart and load. We just need to wait, which seems to take a long time and dozens of minutes. Because it is an SSD hard drive and a machine with good speed, the installation can be completed in less than 10 minutes.

The configuration file is very simple and can be understood in Chinese anyway.

You also need to enter the Windows 2003 serial number here. Snail does not provide it here. Just search it online first. If you have the opportunity to compile a separate article on the collection of serial numbers later,

Here we need to set the system login power-on password.

There are also a few simple steps to save the snail's settings. We will install the computer system and operate the simple settings. So we can see the picture above, the familiar windows2003 system is installed.

Third, delete ISO system package loading

Because the system starts from the optical drive by default, and our 2003 system is still in the optical drive, so if the VPS is restarted, we may not be able to log in to the WIN system, so we need to delete the optical drive ISO.

After removing the ISO, we can log in to the Windows 2003 system at any time.

If we need to know more about Vultr, you can refer to these:

There are several issues that need to be noted:

A - The system is installed. By default, 3389 is not started. We need to start the remote desktop and turn off the firewall and other settings

B - If there are projects that require WIN system operation, such a real environment system is much more convenient and real than what we use on VNC.

C - Snail does not provide ISO downloads for this article. If friends in need join the QQ group and ask for it from Snail, after all, it is illegal to share it publicly, so it is better to use it for internal communication.
