How to install Windows 10 / Windows 2013 / Windows 2016 server /Windows 2019 Server OS

DRAFT

you need to obtain original Windows ISO of the desired version.

List distros:


For example to install Windows 10:

#prlctl create WIN10WS --distribution win-10 --vmtype vm

Or windows Server 2016 (for 2019 the same )

prlctl create WINSRV --distribution win-2016 --vmtype vm

Or windows Server 2022

prlctl create WINSRV --distribution win-2022 --vmtype vm


Or EOL Windows 2012:

#prlctl create WINSRVOLD --distribution win-2016 --vmtype vm win-2012 

ADD CD-ROM:

prlctl set WINSRV --device-add cdrom --image /tmp/downloads/server2019.iso

Enable and set VNC port:

prlctl set WINSRV --vnc-mode manual --vnc-port 5995 --vnc-passwd YourPassword

Configure resources:

prlctl set WINSRV --cpus 4
prlctl set WINSRV --memsize 4G
prlctl set WINSRV --diskspace 60G
prlctl set WINSRV --iolimit 50 #optional


prlctl set WINSRV  --device-set net0 --ipadd X.X.X.X/24 --gw X.X.X.X --nameserver 8.8.8.8


Set the network mode routed or hosted:

prlctl set WINSRV --device-set net0 --type routed

Start VM:

prlctl start WINSRV 


Connect via VNC and proceed with OS install.

After that configure the IP static/DHCP inside VM ; also you may install VZ_toosl so the network may be managed from host node like:

prlctl installtools WINSRV

optional SET MAC:

prlctl set WINSRV --device-set net0 --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55

Or back to auto:

prlctl set WINSRV --device-set net0 --mac auto

Optional set dhcp (note network adapter mode):

prlctl set WINSRV --device-set net0 --dhcp yes


Optional : if you like to move the VM hdd and config files to another folder use :

prlctl move <vm_ID|vm_name> --dst <path>
