Is this a Ryzen system? If so, after inserting the ISO through the web interface, go onto your IMPI and access HTML5 Remote Console like you have right now.
Then restart the server via the web interface or the IMPI. During booting, right after the "white supermicro" screen disappears, you should see in the top something like "Press any key to continue....".
As the message states, press any keyboard key and that will launch you into the Windows installer. 🙂
You have to be quite quick though, as that "press any key to continue" message is only visible for a few seconds.
No worries, apologies that it could be confusing. 🙂
We're working on improving this so that Windows auto-boots to setup like we currently have with any Linux ISO. 👍
Interesting, I'll make sure to let the support team know about this so that they are aware for future queries. Thanks! 🙂
Umm, I think you installed the non-GUI windows version during setup D:
cerulean fiber
wow, you're doing headless windows server
for simplicity, i would recommend full gui windows server, but okay
i for one would not be comfortable configuring a windows server through powershell xD
dire sonnet
never tried, never will^^ 😄

Hey, I would recommend to install proxmox on your dedicated server.
It allows you to create multiple instances of windows via QEMU, which is pretty neat! :)

never tried, never will^^ 😄
I tried this interface once regretted it directly
cerulean fiber
yeah.. i would do that too.

@dire sonnet Question why are them server isos EVAL variants?? To activate them you have to run convert script to go normal then activate it why not just do the normal ones or does this remark within windows TOS?
cerulean fiber
basically just mean "nobody entered the windows license key on this server yet"
dire sonnet
I think it's something to do with terms yeah, I'm not sure on the specifics but I think that is what I heard somewhere sometime.
sturdy pond

No eval is litherally 90 day eval you cant activate them i have plenty of keys but that doesnt work untill convert to standard or datacenter
sturdy pond
I think it's something to do with terms yeah, I'm not sure on the specifics but ...
Bc the vps is like unable to activate unless you swap it manually on that iso then pray and it works
Bc our topic starter has also to convert it to apply a windows key since hes going eval gui mode

seems easy enough to switch from eval, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/upgrade-conversion-options

This only works with zap when you do it from the iso not from when ordering vps stuff in this case ts has luck to convert

protip, some programs can't handle remote desktop session closing, but setting up autologon and restarting fixes it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon
fixes it, because then you're not making a new desktop session, you just keep re-using the same one~ (at least for the Administrator account. idk how it works for other accounts)

all a bunch of useless 
sturdy pond
wow, thanks, didn't know about that one
and on like terminal servers or AD controllers let it basicly kill the session after given time due 2 session limit
did you enable rdp in settings?
then i assume no

DHCP does not work, u need to cofigure static ip manually
sturdy pond
you have to set it also
sturdy pond

oh yeah true that also
cerulean fiber
can u find control panel
edit
yeah looks right (not familiar with that exact windows version)
now check zap hosting panel
sturdy pond
yeah looks right (not familiar with that exact windows version)
its windows logic showing you enforced the new one
8.8.8.8
or 1.1.1.1 google is full with them
leave them off
can you go windows logo + R then type "control"
cerulean fiber
I remember in.. Windows 10 or 11, I could not set static IP via the new panel thing, but the good old control panel could
cerulean fiber
no, zap-hosting does not support ipv6 (except for the main website zap-hosting.com, but their VPS/dedis does not support ipv6)
sturdy pond
you see this right when you login?
cerulean fiber
same xD
sturdy pond
ok find the Ethernet thingy click it
its on the left of them all
then there is your adapter fill there the settings
local server
in the left menu
sturdy pond
same xD
when doing AD management its quite usefull 1 login entire ad in there also services on other servers from one to deploy
yes
yes
cerulean fiber
perfect! yeah that thing always works in my experience (while the windows 11 panel does NOT work, in my experience)
that's the old control panel version
cerulean fiber
doesn't matter. just set it manually in that thing
hmmm...
it should have been reachable now..
cerulean fiber
guess you don't want the ip public? i want to see a screenshot of your https://zap-hosting.com/en/customer/dedicated/show/???/ips/ page, and a screenshot of exactly what you put into this
ooo nice you did it! gratz
nah probably just the default firewall rule blocks ping, you need to mess with the firewall settings to allow pings
sturdy pond
now on the same server manager page do the remote desktop
cerulean fiber
enjoy your 9950x ❤️
