Linode , Online.Net Windows Templates
Hi !
During the past few weeks I found myself doing lots of work with Windows VMs. I finally started reading-up on the use of snapshots and took the time to figure out how to install the Windows VM on Linode ( and Online.net ) . Today I will share templates that I have created and successfully installed.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit : http://files.duc5e.net/Windows_7_Unltimate_64bit.gz
Windows Server2008 R2 Enterprise : http://files.duc5e.net/Windows_Server_2008_R2_Enterprise.gz
And all http://files.duc5e.net
How to Install ( Linode )
1) Create a new Linode VPS, the smallest Linode VPS will work so pick whatever size you'd like.
2) Once the VM is created, we're going to make a single disk.
3) Now we need a Configuration Profile that will boot Windows.
4) Next we boot the VPS into Rescue Mode and access it via the Glish interface
5) Alright, we're ready to do the transfer with the following command
wget -O- http://files.duc5e.net/filename.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda
6) When you bring the Glish window back up the screen will just be black, press a button to wake it up and see the command line like we left it. Lets do a restart with reboot

How to Install ( Online.net )
1) Boot your server into rescue mode (Ubuntu 14) via the Online.net control panel.
2) Log into your server's rescue mode via SSH
3) Run the following commands:
sudo -i
wget -O- http://files.duc5e.net/filename.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda
4) Once the above command completes, reboot your server back to normal mode using the Online.net control panel.
You can then log into RDP using your server's IP address and the following credentials.
Username: Administrator
Password: Demo2016
Comments
please remove the Windows 7 link as it's a clear breach of MS Terms (so is the other but speak to admins about that)
Please make template for scaleway
login info?
Remember to have proof of licence from a legitimate vendor (trial, education, VLK, reddit stolen copies are not valid for hosting) when Linode asks after detecting it
Nice, but what about OVH?
Do they actively search for Windows installations?

not but they can be easily spotted.
You're a clear breach of my terms not to put up with morons.
Illegal way to use Windows. Big headache for Linode, Onlinenet.
I bet some providers use the retail version.
Thanks managed to install Win7 64 on Leaseweb VPS
@Iam said:
It's not illegal to use the template as long as you license windows properly.
Hi, on what online.net server was this tested? Thanks

Did anyone face a problem with online.net because of these windows methods before?

You're a moron yourself
In the event you have an Online.net server without KVM access (Personal Range), you can use the templates I built here - https://www.whatuptime.com/
They also support Kimsufi servers.
I used your Windows server 2012 and it's good
Also have a server running thanks to your template
Well done good sir
Cool tutorial but you should probably buy a better host:
the slow speed is probably due to your hdd as it uses gunzip it appears rather than actual full template uncompressed.
Yep its your hardware. I was able to download and install in a couple of minutes
Same here
It took only 3-5 minutes to be done
OVH Cloud VPS maybe? ahaha
Update
online.net offers proxmox, it's easier and safer to setup a windows kvm than doing this.. I wouldn't waste a whole dedi for a single w$ install
