New Permissions did the trick for me (vrs 6.8.3). One issue I had was the client computer going to sleep during the New Permission process. Is there a way to do this from unRaid command line? Thanks for the fix!

Found the solution. Instead of using virtio-win-0.1.102.iso, using virtio-win-0.1.173-2.iso.

The unRaid server has been update from 6.1.3 to 6.8.3. Now the VNC will open with the Windows Server login. When the ctrl-alt-del signal is sent it goes into recovery mode. These are the vm file names: mnt/user/VM/Windows Server 2012/vdisk1.img /mnt/user/ISO/ws2012.iso /mnt/user/ISO/virtio-win-0.1.102.iso Suggestions? vmLog.txt

Thanks for the fast response!

How do I solve this issue? plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.5.3-x86_64.zip ... done plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.5.3-x86_64.md5 ... done wrong md5 plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1 I would like to get to the current version 6.8.3 Which folder is the download saved to? Thanks in advance.

UnRaid version 6.8.3 Installed Windows Server 2012 and it is running, but how do I access Windows GUI? There is no VNC on the menu, just stop, pause, etc but no VNC. I have this working on UnRaid 6.1.

SQL Server 2012 is now installed! Found Greg Larsen's instructions. Since I was just doing a basic install, it did not occur to me that the Database Engine Services had to be installed to get the database engine. Here is a link to Greg Larsen's instructions: http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/installing-sql-server-2012.html Now to do the public bridge thing.

Issue: Need to install the database engine on Windows Server 21012. Does anyone have the steps documented on how to install SQL SERVER 2012 into Windows Server 2012 in a VM? Which setting do I change from a private bridge to a public bridge? <domain type='kvm' id='1'> <name>Windows Server 2012</name> <uuid>0f638e85-1600-5a39-df21-c9950562cc32</uuid> <description>Windows Server for the estimator program</description> <metadata> <vmtemplate name="Custom" icon="windows.png" os="windows"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>4718592</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4718592</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> </cputune> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.3'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> </hyperv> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/VM/Windows Server 2012/vdisk1.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <alias name='virtio-disk2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/ISO/ws2012.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <boot order='2'/> <alias name='ide0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/ISO/virtio-win-0.1.102.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-0-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <alias name='virtio-serial0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:1a:a9:0d'/> <source bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/Windows Server 2012.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='disconnected'/> <alias name='channel0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain>

Found it! On the VM tab, double click on the VM name to open up the settings. The drive can be change there. A screen shot has bee attached.

I have created a 35 gb VM folder for Windows Server 2012 and I need to expand it to 59 gb. There is much free space on the disk. What is the procedure to increase the share size? Many thanks! Bill

After searching for a solution, I found that one had to remake the iso file. So I went back to the install DVD and did the '>> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso' thing to create a new iso file. Then the file was copied to the tower/ISO directory. Next I went into the xml file and updated the source file. Finally I ran the VPC and it is now wanting to install Windows Server instead of getting a boot failed error.

I have set up a custom VM to run Widows 8 / 2012. Created an iso from the set up disk and installed this file into an ISO file share.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the information! Bill

Hello, I am new to unRaid and virtulization. I will start with the manual 'Installing a Windows VM. I do have a 62 Gig flash drive that I am using for the unRaid OS and would like to install the Windows OS on it as well. Is this possible? Windows Server 2012 will be used to run SQL Server 2012 and a small application used for recording time and for doing reports. The database could be stored on the hard drive. 20 to 30 gig for the Windows Server should be more than enough space. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Bill
