Automatically provisioning a Windows Server at OVH
From watching a Windows Server boot in OVH's Remote KVM, I see that the last thing OVH does is run a .cmd file from a zip.
So after testing it, I found that you must:
- Provide a URL to a
.zip
file for theInstallation script (URL)
- Containing a batch file ending in the extension
.cmd
- Which will get run as Admin as the last setup step
- And will output its results to
c:\ovhupd\script\customerscriptlog.txt
You can also provide any other supporting files you want, as long as they don't end in .cmd
Protip: Run
cd /d "%~dp0"
at the beginning of your.cmd
script to change directory to where your script is
