Hey, I have the same issue, Does anyone know how to solve this?

It's probably due to the "-m 2048M" in step 10, but I don't know if there's a way to extend it after installation

Also, in the server used here, he has 1 HDD only, so the command
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1
probably works for one drive, do I need to modify it so that it wipes both drives?

Hi,

Thanks for this tutorial.

I'm trying to install windows on a scaleway Start-2-S-SATA dedibox with 4GB of RAM and 1TB and I get this error when trying to execute qemu with the windows iso:

This is the command I type:
/tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/18363.418.191007-0143.19h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso -hda /dev/sda -boot once=d -vnc :1

And this is the error I get:
qemu-system-x86_64: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory

I guess it is due to a lack of memory, Your server had 16GB of RAM and mine has 4GB so I think it is not possible to load qemu with the 5GB ISO. Now the memory is:

root@------------~# grep "^Mem" /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 4042124 kB
MemFree: 115544 kB
MemAvailable: 37252 kB

Any workaround to solve this or is it definetely impossible to get windows installed on my server?

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda.

Hello,
Thank you for this tutorial which was a great help however after testing several times there is a variant of your tutorial even simpler and it also works on servers dedicated to Oneprovider allow me to take your tutorial to make another this time specifying that this tutorial applies to Oneprovider and with a variant of your method?
Of course I will mention you.
Thanks in advance

Still works in 2022, new installation of Windows server 2022, same server configuration but from OneProvider.​

1. Make a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04
2. You can perform the following steps in normal mode or in rescue mode (boot server with a UBUNTU RESCUE IMAGE)
3. Once install is finished open Putty and login with your Ubuntu credential

Grant Root Privileges on Ubuntu​

sudo -i

Wipe Disk (You need a server with 8GB of RAM)​

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1

mount -t tmpfs -o size=8000m tmpfs /mnt

This time I used an image of Windows Server 2022 ISO - LINK​

wget -P /mnt ISODIRECTLINK

Example​

wget -P /mnt https://software-static.download.prss.microsoft.com/sg/download/888969d5-f34g-4e03-ac9d-1f9786c66749/SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso

Install QEMU​

wget -qO- /tmp https://ia601503.us.archive.org/12/items/vkvm.tar/vkvm.tar.gz | tar xvz -C /tmp

Launch QEMU (replace "NAMEOFYOURISO" with the name of download ISO)​

/tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/NAMEOFYOURISO -hda /dev/sda -boot once=d -vnc :1

Example​

/tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso -hda /dev/sda -boot once=d -vnc :1

Install Windows with VNC Viewer (YOURSERVERIP:1)

​

Enable RDP (System properties/Remote Access)​

Enable Windows Sound: Open Services and Start Windows Audio Service

REBOOT SERVER IN NORMAL MODE TO HAVE ALL MEMORY RAM

SPEED TEST

Enjoy!​

I can't get this to work with my oneprovider server. After installing windows server 2022 i can't login as i simply get this text "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

Hello
I can't keep Vnc open, it kills itself after 1 minute as soon as it appears on the Windows logo just after loading files.

[lenuxfrance]

J'ai fait un nouveau tutoriel, je posterai peut-être demain, pas besoin d'utiliser de mémoire RAM dans ce nouveau, quelle configuration a votre serveur ?

This particular server has static IP and all ports blocked except 80 and 22, I am stuck right now with this problem, I was able to install Windows without problems but I can't start the remote session.

Hello
Your methods don't work and kill me every time with VLC
On Chinese sites, installation is fine, but rdp runs in a loop on connection security.

does it work with oneprovider dedicated servers?

Thread '[TUTORIAL] Install Windows Server on any VPS or Dedicated Server without KVM/iLO or IPMI'

Jul 11, 2024

Hello WJ!

After many days of testing and learning, I managed to install Windows Server on my OVH VPS without KVM/iLO or IPMI and just 4GB of RAM, so here is my tutorial (theoretically it should work for all suppliers who provides a LINUX/UBUNTU RESCUE IMAGE)

NOTE: I couldn't find a tutorial on the whole internet that could manage to install windows like this, so I think it's the first one.

(I make customs ISO´s and .gz of Windows Server 2025 | 2022 | 2019 | 2016 | 2012R2 Standard with GUI + VirtIO & Intel Drivers. If you want install another version of...​
