no matter how many times i try the steps here:
https://solidcp.com/kb/configuration/hyperv2012r2-os-template/
It would keep giving either and error to launch windows 8.1 or once provisioning a VM with win 8.1 template it would get stuck at the following screen !...
Luckily though, windows server 2012 r2 went just fine !...
any help appreciated...
Hi,
I think you will need to replace the UserAccounts section at Line 194 with:
<UserAccounts>
<!-- Administrator account password -->
<LocalAccounts>
<LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
<Password>
<Value>#vm.AdministratorPassword#</Value>
<PlainText>true</PlainText>
</Password>
<Description></Description>
<DisplayName>Administrator</DisplayName>
<Group>Administrators</Group>
<Name>Administrator</Name>
</LocalAccount>
</LocalAccounts>
</UserAccounts>
I haven't tested this so cannot confirm it will work 100%.
Kind Regards,
Trevor Robinson
Thank you, I will definitely give this a try today, but can you advise will this set the password for any created local account ? or should it be named "Administrator" to work ?...
You can set the username to any user but it may mean that the reset password doesn't work inside SolidCP.
@Trevor : the reset password function is still working, if you change the Administrator username. SolidCP doesn't take the "Administrator" account for changing the password but searching for the name of a local admin. 🙂
