Looking at my server specs after installing Windows 2012 R2 and I noticed my CPU is showing up as a QEMU CPU and my RAM is only using half of what's installed.

Are your templates installing QEMU and running Windows as a VM?

The templates we provide install Microsoft Windows directly to the dedicated server or virtual machine, we make very little changes to Microsoft Windows (add drivers and a few tweaks to increase compatibility).

Which platform are you installing our template(s) onto?

Thanks for the quick reply! Using a Hetzner dedicated box, which should have an Intel Core i7 3770 and 16gb ram.

I've attached a screenshot of what Windows sees.

Ok, I figured out my issue. Hetzner uses QEMU when you use their KVM recovery tool. So I used the KVM tool and installed Windows which installed windows under QEMU.

To fix, I had to wipe the server, NOT use KVM recovery, but use Linux recovery and ssh into the server to run the dd commands.

Awesome to hear you have it working!

Were you able to get your IP assigned once Windows was installed?

Actually didn't need to since it used DHCP... it all worked automagically. 🙂

Awesome! I wasn't aware they used DHCP.
