How to create Windows Server 2016 & 2019 VM’s – OpenVZ 7
In this post I will explain how to create Windows Server 2019 & Windows Server 2016 VM’s using OpenVZ 7 (based on KVM).


Create a new VM with Windows Server 2016 or 2019 (use win-2016 as distribution for 2019).

prlctl create SRV-WIN2019 --distribution win-2016 --vmtype vm
Download and add your Windows ISO:

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --device-add cdrom --image /root/downloads/server2019.iso
Enable VNC for remote access:

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --vnc-mode manual --vnc-port 5905 --vnc-passwd YourPassword
Optional, set a static MAC-address:

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --device-set net0 --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55
Enter your Private or Public IP Address + CIDR, Gateway and Nameserver:

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019  --device-set net0 --ipadd X.X.X.X/24 --gw X.X.X.X \
--nameserver 8.8.8.8
Set CPU Cores:

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019  --cpus 2
Set RAM/Memory size (in GB):

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --memsize 4G
Set Disk size (in GB):

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --diskspace 80G
Set I/O Limit in MB/s (Disk):

prlctl set SRV-WIN2019 --iolimit 50
Start your VM:

prlctl start SRV-WIN2019
Connect to your OVZ 7 Host IP + VNC Port 5905 with VNC Viewer and follow the Windows installation instructions.

Let’s install OVZ Guest Tools on Windows Server 2016 or 2019:

prlctl installtools SRV-WIN2019
Congrats! The installation has been completed!
