[one-users] How config Windows vm template?

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi André,

Looks like we don't have many users virtualizing windows machines.
Maybe this kind of questions can be better helped in a windows support
list...

Since you took the time to create and share the contextualization scripts,
if you come up with a working procedure and want to contribute a guide or
how-to, we'd be glad to have it in the community wiki [1].

Regards.

> Hi there,
>
> The contextualization offered by OpenNebula is creating that cdrom and
> context.sh script, but it's up to the guest OS to read that file and
> configure itself.
>
> We only provide linux scripts; you would have to create similar ones. I'm
> not sure how difficult that can be since I don't have experience with
> Windows scripting.

>
> If you only need to configure the right IP for your VM, then you can try to
> configure a DHCP server in your network (it can be placed in a VM in the
> same VNet). This has been discussed in the list, hopefully these threads
> will help:
