(Kimsufi) Windows
hello kimsufi lovers,
I was lucky enough to grab a KS1. I installed Windows (tried 7 & 2012 r2) so that I can seed easily some linux iso's.
everything works fine and smooth, but after 1-2 hours the server is unreachable and impossible to ping it.
I tried it twice with 2 different templates, but I am facing still the same problem.

Disable sleep on power management
^^this + disable automatic display turn off option as-well
Is your license activated? If not, you'll probably be encountering hourly shutdowns.
8.1 works well I find.
still the same, went down again
probably, but how come that this is also happening with windows7?
Have you disabled Monitor in Kimsufi control panel?
yes
I use Windows on several KS-1, 2A, 2E and 3C (and online.net and Hetzner).
When I create a template I turn the power to Always on (high power), turn off the screen settings (20 minutes to 0). And turn the monitoring off in Kimsufi CP.
It should work then. I jut made a template a few days ago.
And, I always run this command in elevated command line: powercfg.exe /hibernate off
did you check event viewer to see what happened?
so I switched back to Win7 and made some power settings and it runs smooth since a few hours. anyway thank you gents.
kimsufi is the best
Edit:
do you have some tips for securing a win7 server? (except an antivirus, firewall on, installing updates)
