Problems installing windows on kimsufi

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install Windows Server 2022 on my Kimsufi KS-Game-1 server from the OVH range. The server specs are:

• CPU: i7 4790k
• RAM: 16GB DDR3
• DISK: 1×240 GB SSD SATA

I followed this tutorial from Hetzner: Hetzner Community: Install Windows.

Here’s what I did step-by-step:

1. Installed Ubuntu 24.04 and booted into rescue mode.
2. Downloaded the Windows Server 2022 ISO from Massgrave.
3. Used parted /dev/sda and mklabel msdos to delete all drives and prep for installation.

Next, I created an SSH tunnel and ran the following QEMU command (based on the Hetzner post) to install Windows:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -m 4096 -boot d -cdrom win.iso -drive file=/dev/sda,format=raw,media=disk -vnc 127.0.0.1:1

After connecting via VNC, I installed the OS successfully.
I then wrote the following PowerShell script to configure the network interface:

foreach($Adapter in Get-NetAdapter)
{
New-NetIPAddress –IPAddress [IPAdresse] -DefaultGateway [Gateway] -PrefixLength [CIDR] -InterfaceIndex $Adapter.InterfaceIndex
}

• I got the IP address and gateway from the OVH panel.
• The prefix length was determined using ipconfig /all.

I added the script to Task Scheduler as described in the Hetzner tutorial.

Problem: After switching from rescue mode to boot from disk and restarting the server, I can't RDP into it, and I can't even ping the server.

Additional Attempt:

I also tried the method from this LowEndTalk post:
Install Windows Server on any VPS or Dedicated Server without KVM/iLO or IPMI

In rescue mode, I ran the following command:

wget -O- 'https://eu2.vpssh.xyz/Windows_Server_2022_VirtIO_Intel.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda
After restarting the server, I still couldn't RDP or ping it.

Any help would be appreciated!
