SYS-350

ISO Setup Windows Server 19 & VMware

• First login into mgmt1 and ssh into your super server (super8 for me) and cd into your isos directory then

cd /vmfs/volumes/super8-datastore2/isos

• Next use a browser to reach 192.168.7.240/isos (for evens like me .241 for odds)

• From here copy the links to the two isos and use wget to install the isos on the datastore 2 iso directory

Deliverable 1

AD-350

• Begin your AD-350 server setup

• Begin your windows setup with booting from the cd/rom to boot the windows server iso

• Once your VM has finished installing use ctl + Shift + f3 to login without a password and begin your sysprep

• First go into powershell and use sconfig to begin your updates.

• choose option 6 and install ALL updates until there are no more (this might take multiple times)

• Next to sysprep the vm we will be running the scripts found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gmcyber/480share/master/ssh-prep.ps1 to do some basic sysprep

• After that step we will navigate to AD-350 in the ESXi host and Actions > guest OS > Install VMware tools

• We can then navigate to VMware Tools in File explorer and launch setup64 to install VMware Tools on AD-350 and restart your computer

• Once you restart you will power off AD-350 and then change the network adapter to 350-internal and cd/rom to host device before taking a base snapshot

• Now that the sysprep is done we can begin to setup AD-350
