Description

--ad-forest-level

  • Specify active directory forest level. It can be one of the values listed below:
    • Default
    • Windows Server 2003: 2 or Win2003
    • Windows Server 2008: 3 or Win2008
    • Windows Server 2008 R2: 4 or Win2008R2
    • Windows Server 2012: 5 or Win2012
    • Windows Server 2012 R2: 6 or Win2012R2
    • Windows Server 2016: 7 or WinThreshold

The default forest functional level in Windows Server is typically the same as the version you are running. However, the default forest functional level in Windows Server 2008 R2 when you create a new forest is Windows Server 2003 or 2

--ad-domain-level

  • Specify active directory domain level. It can be one of the values listed below:
    • Default
    • Windows Server 2003: 2 or Win2003
    • Windows Server 2008: 3 or Win2008
    • Windows Server 2008 R2: 4 or Win2008R2
    • Windows Server 2012: 5 or Win2012
    • Windows Server 2012 R2: 6 or Win2012R2
    • Windows Server 2016: 7 or WinThreshold

The domain functional level cannot be lower than the forest functional level, but it can be higher. The default is automatically computed and set.

--cpus
Numbers of cpu cores for VM.

--check-ad
Optional. Used to check whether AD connection is working.

-disk-size
Specify VM disk size in GB (usually with .qcow2 format).

--domain
Specify windows domain name.

--enable-kdc
Enable kerberos service. This is only used with AnswerFileTemplates/cifs-nfs/ to test NFS/CIFS exporting option "sec=krb5,krb5i,krb5p".

-h, --help
Print a brief version of help.

--hostname
Specify host name of windows. If it's not specified, it will be the same as the VM name.

--image
Specify the path to windows image (usually with .iso suffix). Please put the image at /var/lib/libvirt/images/ or the script may fail to read it. Be aware that it's NOT the same as --image-dir below.

--image-dir
Specify the path to save VM disk image (usually with .qcow2 suffix). This is used when there is no enough disk space in the default directory.

--openssh
Specify openssh download link if you want to access windows via SSH after installation. For example, --openssh=https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/download/v7.7.1.0p1-Beta/OpenSSH-Win64.zip.

--os-variant
Specify KVM OS variant. There are lots of variants but in the specific case we only care about windows variants:

  • win2k8
  • win2k12
  • win2k12r2
  • win2k16
  • win10
  • win7
    ...

Use command 'virt-install --os-variant list' to get accepted OS variants or Use command "osinfo-query os" after RHEL-6 (yum install libosinfo). Note that os variant doesn't have to 100% match the windows image you are using (e.g. It works even if you specify win2k8 when using win2k16 image) because it's used to optimize the setup process.

--parent-domain
Specify a parent domain name. It's only used when deploying a child domain and this parent domain must've existed. This is used together with --parent-ip

--parent-ip
Specify a parent domain ip. It's only used when deploying a child domain and this parent domain must've existed. This is used together with --parent-domain

--product-key
Specify windows product key. This is not recommended for testing purpose. Using evaluation windows is preferred.

-p, --password
Specify windows login password. Note that the password can't be too weak or the deployment will fail.

--ram
Specify size of RAM for VM in MB.

--timeout
Set timeout for windows installation in minutes.

-u, --user
Specify windows user name.

--vm-name
Specify VM windows name.

--vncport
Specify VNC port to connect to windows VM for checking.

--wim-index
Specify wim index for windows installation. See READNE Tips[1] Get wim images info.
