Step 99: Conclusion and going forward We've reached the end of this How-To, and I hope you found it informative and helpful. Feel free to download the VM with its snapshots to experiment and expand upon what's been covered. For instance, if you crack the email shutdown mechanism, want to explore Proxmox backups, or demonstrate ACPI usage on Linux, you can start from a suitable snapshot. To make it easier for others, please take a snapshot of your work on a specific topic. If you share the enhanced VM, I'll distribute it to others. We're also looking for someone to temporarily share 50GB of fast server space. Let me know if you can help. Thank you for following along. Please consider sharing, liking, and subscribing to support our work.

Step 3: Install Windows Server 2022 and Configure Shutdown from Proxmox/QEMU Guest Agent We will install Windows Server 2022 and configure it to shut down from Proxmox without human intervention. Downloading the ISOs You will need the Windows Server ISO from Microsoft and the VirtIO from Fedora. Go to the Windows Server Download page from Microsoft. Right-click on the hyperlink representing the ISO you want and choose Copy Link In Proxmox, head over to the local (pve1) Click on ISO images and paste the URL you copied in step 1. Click the QueryURL This should resolve to the Win2K22 ISO. Click Download . The download should commence. Close the Download window. Head over to the VirtIO driver page from Fedora. Click on the latest driver (this HowTo uses driver version 0.1.248 -- https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.248-1/ ). Right click on the ISO file and copy the URL. Repeat steps 2 – 5 for this ISO. Wait unt

Step 1: Install Proxmox / Adjust to no-subscription environment / Update Proxmox   Setting up the VMWare Environment It is not recommended to install a hypervisor on top of another hypervisor. This HowTo does this to be able to share images that can run on computers without requiring a dedicated Proxmox machine. If you don’t already have it, you can download VMware Workstation Pro (or VMware Fusion Pro for Mac) from the official website: https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2024/05/vmware-workstation-pro-now-available-free-for-personal-use.html . Open VMWare and setup the VM to host Proxmox: Create a Custom VM and set the boot drive as the Proxmox ISO. Base the VM on Debian Configure it with 2 processors each with 2 cores, 16G RAM and 80G HD.  Check the box Virtualize Intel-x/EPT or AMD-C/RVI. For all other settings accept defaults. If you intend to extend this VM with additional functionality you may need to allocate more HD storage. If the installation crashes on Windo
