Okay, so you want to install Windows on your Kimsufi server? Cool! Just follow the instructions and you’ll have Windows installed within an hour!

Need help? Send me an email at [email protected]

First of all disable monitoring, once disabled, boot into rescue mode (netboot) from the Kimsufi control panel. Wait a few minutes and an email will show up in your inbox with the details (username and password) of the rescue system.
Login at the rescue system using PuTTy (or your favorite SSH client) and follow the following steps.

Type the following command in the console

For Windows Server 2012 R2 (Also works on Online.net) (Doesn’t work on all Kimsufi Servers!)

wget -O- 'http://ktd.joodle.nl/KS2012R2.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

For Windows Server 2008 R2 (Guaranteed to work on Any Kimsufi Server) <– Recommended

wget -O- 'http://ktd.joodle.nl/KS2008R2.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

For Windows 8.1 (Also works on Online.net) (Guaranteed to work on Any Kimsufi Server)

wget -O- 'http://ktd.joodle.nl/KS8.1.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

For Windows 7 (Ultimate Edition) (Doesn’t work on all Kimsufi Servers!)

wget -O- 'http://ktd.joodle.nl/KS7.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

Once fully downloaded and unzipped to the disk go back to the Kimsufi control panel and change Netboot to Hard Disk. Once done, reboot the server and wait till it responds to ping. After that you can login using RDP (Remote Desktop Control)
