Need some people with a Kimsufi server help testing Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2
Most of you know my tutorial, i'm currently creating Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Templates
But i need some help testing these templates, so if you got a Kimsufi server and are willing to help testing the templates, please send me a PM
Thanked by 1lipanbaraku

how you plan on getting this working? surely itll just throw up BSOD's due to hardware difference.
No it wont, never had any problem with Windows 8.1 (Windows Server 2012 doesn't support the network adapters which OVH uses on their KS3, 4 and 5 (don't know about higher models) though)
Windows 8 is different though. it can accept different hardware (look at windows to go for example) the only way i see this working is making actual templates for specific hardware. or via sysprep?
Windows 7 also works with different hardware, these templates are installed/created with the original ISO's (from microsoft website). No updates are installed so everything should work with other computers just fine
Well i have yet to see this. but good luck
Perhaps you should seek confirmation from Microsoft? You're helpful like that.
already asked this on the technet thing. and it's possible when doing it via system prep. hence why people most of the time have to do a OS reinstall with major system changes. (unless you was to remove every driver manually that is which would take time.
Secondly. as you should know microsoft do not cover this kind of work ( system imaging) so i doubt they will be able to help on this one sadly.
Oh! Oh! Choose me!
Windows 7 is currently working and stable!
Windows Server 2008 R2 is having some issues, currently trying to get the logs
I am interested.
I can test win7
I need some people with a KS-3 or higher to test the Windows 7 template
Currently already enough people with the KS-1 and 2
You can do image copys with windows, all you need is the possible new drivers available. Either installed or on an accessible disk.
A friend of mine is using his third laptop with the same hard drive.
When he need more CPU, buy a new laptop and move the disk over.
Of course you need to activate the OS with MS again since it is a hardware change.
If you manage to get 2012 R2 working on KS-3 let me know :P
It won't, the network card isn't supported by Server 2012 R2
Cmon joodle .. you can do it :-)
will windows 7 work on d425 without crashing. like 8.1? if u need i can test on my d425.
What network card is it?
Windows 7 link has been added to my tutorial (pssshtt check my signature)
welp for anyone wondering it does not work on D425.
KS-3 win7 .... no ping ... no rdp
You need the drivers installed.
I'm currently working on a Windows 7 template with the network card drivers already pre-installed
Only thing i need to know is which motherboard the KS-1 with the D425 uses, would be great of anyone could tell me that
Can someone with a KS-1 with the Atom D425 CPU do a "lspci | egrep -i 'network|ethernet' " at the terminal? I THINK that it's the same network card as the N2800 but i'm not sure
New Windows 7 template with the network card drivers has been done building. This template should work with all Kimsufi servers, including the KS-3 (i3) and KS-4 (i5)
PM me or check my website for the install/download command/link
Windows Server 2008 R2 works with all Kimsufi servers! All drivers from the network cards used are slipstreamed into the template
Any tutorials how to slipstream drivers ?
I need someone with a KS-3 or KS-4 to test the Windows Server 2012 R2 template with the drivers included
In this case you have a working copy of the os you want to use on your kimsufi and then install the drivers for the hardware of your kimsufi.
