    Thanks! My Windows 2016 server is working on the smallest VPS on OVH with 10GB disk space. After installation, there's only 796MB free space on the VM.

    I had issues with the mouse not working when using novnc from Chrome/Firefox. But it works with IE Edge.

    are you on a laptop with a touchscreen perhaps? I had the same issue and had to disable touchscreen support in chrome

  • B1g4 said: After installation, there's only 796MB free space on the VM.

    Yeah I eventually had to order a second disk or upgrade due to the fact that Server 2016 likes to take up a decent amount of space for some reason

    Yes. Mine is a touchscreen, which i use a lot. I found the IE Edge solution to be convenient without having to disable my touchscreen.

    Also, wondering if I can install Windows 2016 the same way for the VPS'es from other OVH resellers? Would that work?

    Are you referring to reselling OVH VPS's or vendor whom buy a dedicated server and chop it up into VPS's?

    OVH reseller like https://www.dedicenter.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=1 which uses OVH for France locations.

    That link just defaults to all of their packages.

    My Bad! The correct link is https://www.dedicenter.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=203

    As per another thread, their French location uses OVH Datacenter.

    They are purchasing a dedicated server from OVH and then chopping it up themselves. In this case they are using OpenVZ so you cannot use the templates here or elsewhere as OpenVZ doesn't support Windows.

    You need a VPS provider using KVM to use the templates here. OVH VPS (Direct with OVH), DigitalOcean, Vultr, etc.

    @ihadp - Thanks for the clarification!

    Also, for those who're trying to install the windows templates on OVH 10GB VM, the 2012R2 images gives about 1.34GB free space compared to the 796MB on Windows 2016.

  • @ihadp I donated the $5 and tried using the DigitalOcean template links on my OVH VPS, with /dev/sdb specified as the correct disk, but I'm getting a broken pipe error each and every time I try and run the command,

    You have problems with admin privileges, try

    sudo -i

    or

    sudo wget -O- 'templatelink.gz' | sudo gunzip | sudo dd of=/dev/sda

  • I figured that out, turns out I bought an older version of the template (the DigitalOcean ones, not the Kimsufi ones) so sdb/sda wasn't working reguardless.

    I have made progress on my own Windows Server 2012 R2 template and have gotten it to boot so I'm working with that

  • Anyone have the template link?
    Looks like it's dead

  • I just tried with one of joodle's templates, and it doesn't work. I get the recovery mode error on reboot. My VPS uses the sdb part.

  • So, you will have a Windows VPS for $ 3.49 / month:
    2.4 GHz
    2 GB RAM
    10 GB SSD

    Do you know if there is any option to South America? I ask because of the IP in foreign countries.

    Tks for share.

    I had a similar response this morning when putting my shoes on to take out the dog.

    The label is "GoldDiggers", fwiw.

  • yeah 20GB disk space and 2GB ram will be enough for a basic windows install to do some basic stuff

    Soz for gravedigging but I don't think a new topic is neccessary. Does anybody have the template? :/
