Linode VPS host installation Windows2003/2008 system setup and deployment

Based on the toss and needs of some projects, many of our netizens like to install Windows systems in Linux vps. This is of course due to cost considerations, because most overseas hosting providers provide fewer Windows system VPS hosts and the prices are not high. It is cheap, and most of the VPS provided by our merchants in mainland China can install Linux or Windows systems. If the VPS in mainland China can also be used, choose the latter. After all, the former is troublesome to deploy Windows systems on Linux VPS, and most merchants do not support it.

What we are more familiar with is that Vultr merchants can customize the ISO to deploy the WIN system (Vultr installation Win tutorial). After Linode later adopted the KVM architecture, it was also possible to install the Windows system. Some netizens should have installed and used it. There are even netizens who provide such installation services. To be honest, it is quite troublesome to install it yourself, especially if you are not very familiar with the operation. We can also go to a certain website to find someone or netizens to pay for the installation, which saves worry and effort.

What Snail wants to remind you is that any Linux VPS merchant does not say that it will definitely support the installation of Windows, especially the installation of non-genuine authorized ones, so installing Windows may bring account risks, which we need to understand. Snail saw that many netizens mentioned that Linode can install Win, so I followed suit and tried it here.

1. Complete method to install Windows 2003/2008 system using Vultr VPS custom ISO function

2. Record the method of installing Windows system using KVM VPS host DD method

We are also planning to use DD method to install Windows system in Linode VPS.

First, deploy the VPS environment

1. We open a VPS with KVM architecture. The new ones currently opened should all be KVM architecture. There are also some old accounts with XEN architecture that cannot be installed.

2. Set disk mode

Here we need to set the disk mode. What Snail needs to mention here is that some netizens split the system disk into multiple disks. These are also possible. For example, we have a system disk and a file disk. I am just playing around this time and will not split it in detail.

According to the above picture, we need to set and determine three positions.

Second, activate rescue mode

After activating rescue mode, the system will restart and we can wait until it is completed before continuing.

Third, remote access (Remote Access)

Click on the menu (Remote Access) and find the image below.

\\"Launch Graphical Web Console\\" is similar to the VNC interface we are familiar with. Here we need to enter commands to install the system.

Fourth, enter the command script to install

wget -O- \\’http://wget.la/Windows/win2003_with_updatepasswd%3A80hostkvmlamjj.gz\\’ | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

Here I still use the image I used to install Windows last time. The other image I used before has been unsuccessful, so I changed the image and it worked.

Downloading and installation will be done here, both automatically.

Seeing this means the installation is complete, we enter reboot to restart the server.

Fifth, log in to VNC to set up WINDOWS

Here we log in to "Launch Graphical Web Console" again, and then we can see the Win interface.

When you see this interface, you know it's almost OK.

Then enter the password to log in. The default password for this image is \\"80hostkvmlamjj\\", and then you can see the desktop after logging in.

The only slight flaw is that the desktop is awkward and the status task bar under the computer system cannot be seen. We need to set the remote link permissions, and then it is better to log in directly remotely for management, but VNC management is more troublesome.

Sixth, Linode installation Windows summary

1. Windows systems can be installed using the linode kvm architecture environment, and the operation time is not long.

2. In view of the copyright issues of the system, I suggest that you can test it and play it, and do not occupy the project for a long time. Of course, I will not stop you if you want to use it. There should be many people using it.

3. For many netizens who probably don’t know how to do it, then go to a certain store to find someone to operate it. Some businesses provide installation services, so you can worry less. After all, these things are quite troublesome.
