Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Not able to start windows server 2016 / 2019 / 2012

Post by informramki » Mon May 04, 2020 9:05 am

Hi

I am trying to run win 2019 or 2016 / 2012 server (tried all the versions) on eve-ng community (VMware Fusion on my mac). Although I gave enough space and connecting to the network (cloud management0), I am not able to bring the VM, but not able start the VM (though I am getting message from eve-ng that windows started), the icon does not turn blue and VM is not starting, in VNC / RDP.

Tried different browser too, not able to bring it up.

Can anyone help fix this.

Thanks

All simple, you must be sure you perpared this windows install properly per our HOW TO.
and first console for windows is vnc..
Well you must follow how to.

And one more thing check if your eve has enabled Intel VT-X/EPT on your eve vm cpu

I had this problem too.
I didnt do anything.
I left it and tried it another day.

So I had the prepared VM ready to boot from the cdrom.iso, but it would not start.
So I think after the whole system rebooted (Esxi(eve-ng)).
It's worth a try.
