virtualizor windows os issue
I am trying to install windows server on kvm vps from ISO. I am getting the password error every time. It is looking a bug in the virtualizor.
The following errors were found :
There were some errors while setting the password.
Any one have experience to resolve the password error issue.
Thanks in advance

Description
This security setting determines whether passwords must meet complexity requirements. Complexity requirements are enforced when passwords are changed or created.
If this policy is enabled, passwords must meet the following minimum requirements when they are changed or created:
Passwords must not contain the user's entire samAccountName (Account Name) value or entire displayName (Full Name) value. Both checks are not case sensitive:
The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this check is skipped.
The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens) are confirmed not to be included in the password. Tokens that are less than three characters in length are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin," "M," and "Hagens." Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password.
Passwords must contain characters from three of the following five categories:
Uppercase characters of European languages (A through Z, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
Lowercase characters of European languages (a through z, sharp-s, with diacritic marks, Greek and Cyrillic characters)
Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
Nonalphanumeric characters: ~!@#$%^&;*_-+=`|(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/
Any Unicode character that is categorized as an alphabetic character but is not uppercase or lowercase. This includes Unicode characters from Asian languages.

Followed the rules but still have the same issue.
The following errors were found :
I have used the password: 8CY5@dv3U$#q3
Do you have any clue what would be the issue.
Thanks for your time
Does it say what the errors are? or is it like other windows error that say there was a problem? Also this is at the setup process?
That's a virtualizor message not a windows one, you cant set windows passwords from virtualizor because it cant mount the ntfs file system, and even if it could its a bit more complicated to reset a windows password.
You will have to do it from the OS or by using another ISO that can reset windows passwords.
I am using the reinstall feature of the virtualizor, I did try two different ISO, But the same issue.
How can skip the step to use the default password.
thanks
There was once that I had a problem with SolusVM, whereby libguestfs was not installed and resulted in password reset failure.
Not sure if that applies here though.
Why don't you pre-setup the password in the OS and make a image or get urself an image cuz I set random passwords and never had an issue bcuz those passwords have nothing to do with OS.
@AIC what are you talking about? when is the last time you installed windows and it had a default password?!?!
Virtualizor cant set windows passwords, use an iso you dont need to put a password in to add an iso.
For anything else contact virtualizor support if your trying to use a kvm Windows teplate that they provide.
I have downloaded the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2012. I have created a template for the windows installation.
All gone well but when i am going to install windows on vps it asking for the new password and when i provided the password it is creating the password issue.
Any one have an idea,
thanks
for the 3rd time.... VIRTUALIZOR CANNOT SET WINDOWS PASSWORDS you need to contact virtualizor support for a work around if it insists that you enter one at all or scrap the template and just use the iso.
You create windows templates pre initial password stage so this is all irrelevant, unless its yet another thing that @virtualizor decided not to bother doing properly because properly = effort so instead they gave it the old "Some error" which helps no one with anything.
@virtualizor
SolusVM also doesn't support password setting up at initialization. Case is they cannot mount NTFS to change password and also changing windows password is bit tricky. Also as anthony have said there is no default password for Windows but you'll have to setup one at first run.
Indeed, but it lets you deploy a windows template without forcing you to enter a password it cant do anything with
Yup. But I don't think in this case OP can use it. Isn't it ?
I don't understand.
Oh. My humble apologies. I've mistaken this thread to another one.
I am working on the issue, I will post the solution here when it is done.
Would like to know. It would be a interesting workaround
the issue was "The virsh is not taking the proper uri." The virtualizor support corrected the issue.
I have asked for the changes they have made, will post if get any response from them.
Reinstallation is working fine but still rebuilding have the password issue.
regards:
imrna
The issue is resolved now.
There was a package missing which was causing the issue:
yum install libguestfs-winsupport
After installing the above package, it started working fine.
hope will help some one in future.
Thanks every one.
anyone using the virtualizor-provided windows templates ? I can create a VPS with them, and connect with noVNC, but I can't login.
at the bottom of THIS post it lists default passwords, which also don't work.
I read the above info about NOT being able to set windows passwords from virtualizor. OK, but then what's the password for these templates?
In v2.7.1 they added this:
not sure if that's relevant or not, considering the advice above about windows passwords. I'm presuming that for these supplied templates there is a method to set passwords.
also check libguestfs-winsupport is installed
**Virtualizor windows remplate password
**
Windows 2003 empty
Windows 2008 user have to set via VNC
Windows 2012 admin@123
Virtualizor can set windows password. This was a feature we added long back. The root password you set will be the admin password in windows. @bruce you can pm me and I will help you out
@AnthonySmith just read your post above. Wanted to tell everyone virtualizor supports windows password setting.
For forgotten passwords on pre installed servers via template or ISO?
You can reset the password via virtualizor on an existing windows vm as well. Just use the password reset wizard in the enduser ui or admin editvs utility.
that's what's I'm having trouble with. have PM'd you
K going to install it to test because that's actually quite impressive, if that's not true your refunding the licence and paying for my time.
Test will be 2012 R2 setup as a domain controller and installed via ISO, if virtualizor can reset the domadmin password I will be impressed.
update:
Right.... its a batch file that gets written in to the startup in all users with net user commands for changing passwords which probably wont work if your running a domain controller properly and any RT AV will kill it as that's how windows servers/desktops were backdoored by script kiddies back in 2001
Sadly the dependencies for this to be able to happen are not installed by virtualizor as standard and there are many cases where it will fail and when it does fail virtualizor simply tells you "there was some error"
So as usual, a fairly smart way of doing things in terms of the core idea but then the implementation and execution is half baked as always with virtualizor.
Which dependecny was found missing ? Also we are working on further improving the feature by removing the script entirely.
If you wouldnt mind, please post the missing dependencies. Will have it checked.
