How to run windows server 2003 on Debian console?

Question

linux

there is a server on Debian 7.1, no shell graph is needed to access it via ssh. in general, you need to install windows server 2003 on Debian, and you need to make a remote desktop to this wine server. Is there a way to do this via virtual machines? if you put it in another place and transfer the image to Debian and run it in the console, will it work? I understand that the task is rather strange, but there is such a thing. Tell me the options?

Answer 1

virtualbox, kvm, xen, qemu
All can be controlled from the console (virtualbox has a web interface)

Answer 2

Yes, you can run Windows Server on any virtualization technology that Andrey Burov mentioned .
Yes , but keep in mind that in order for a user to connect to a virtual Windows Server, it must remain accessible over the network. Either Windows Server can have its own public IP address configured on the interface in Bridge mode (specific hosting may have their own recommendations / requirements on this matter), or through NAT, where Debian will act as a gateway, and Port will be configured on it. Forwarding to RDP virtual Windows Server.

Answer 3

I did this on VirtualBox in Headless mode. True on CentOS without an X server, but the essence is the same.
There were no particular difficulties. The flight is normal.

Answer 4

KVM + virtmanager + xming - when working with a remote server from a Windows environment
When working from a Linux environment, xming disappears by itself.
Virtmanager has a quite user-friendly mouse click interface.
Well, then, as a regular client, we connect to the server via the RDP protocol.
Yes, and I would not install a Windows server in one place, transfer and then deploy it to another. Windows does not like such tricks. Yes, and the settings will be more. But this is IMHO.
