Windows 2000 Images

[Evelio Quiros <ev...@fiu.edu>]

Hello,

I would like to use VCL to deploy Windows 2000 images. The choices for the vcld –setup only present newer windows systems (XP, Win2k3, 7)

Is it possible to use vcl to deploy old systems like Windows 2000 ?

Also, I have some difficulty capturing an out-of-the-box Windows XP (unpatched, no updates, no service packs, no windows firewall).
This is for a class in hacking, so we needed to deploy some vulnerable systems to attack.

The Cygwin configuration script wants to configure the windows firewall, which is not installed.
I commented that part out of the script, but the SSH service does not start automatically.
When I force the SSH service on, the image capture fails soon after.

Any way to get these unusual systems on VCL ?

Thanks,

Hi Al,

With the Windows 2000 image, I'd first try using the XP selection in vcld
--setup.

Regarding pulling the unpatched XP image, could you please post your
/var/log/vcld.log to the list for a failed image pull?  I've pulled XP
images with the firewall disabled before and haven't had any troubles.  The
Cygwin service-not-starting bit is interesting.

Regards,
Mike
