work really! I was a little upset that QWT doesn't support speaker and
usb devices passthrough. I know that is not what your script is supposed
to do but I was just wondering if there exist, at all, some tweak I can
do to make that work. I just thought it doesn't hurt to ask. Sorry to
bother but do have any trick?

Late response⁠⁠⁠—I'm aware, but, if you're still interested then info on
that is available here:

Yes, that's correct. The windows-mgmt qube may be deleted afterwards if
you are sure that there are no more Windows qubes you would like to create.

Thanks Dominique. Everything working now including Qubes Windows Tools - 
i can copy files over at least.

This is great.

Am I correct that the windows-mgmt qube is just for setting up the 
Windows qube and can be deleted? Certainly keeping it would expedite 
creating new Windows qubes in the future though.

One of the possible reason you were not able to install Windows 10 is
because of the version. The Windows 10 iso you got is probably not an
Enterprise Eval version so the key wont work.

[qubes-users] qvm-create-windows-qube 2.0

2020-01-13 Thread brendan . hoar
Having manually set up windows VMs in  in the pst, I can say that Elliot’s work 
here is quite the time saver.

Just invoke the script, go off and do something for a bit, come back later with 
some windows VM installs completed, including the add on software you wanted.

Haven’t tried the newer version yet as I have to review the 10 windows 7 VMs I 
created under the old version to be sure I can wipe them all first!

[qubes-users] qvm-create-windows-qube 2.0

2020-01-13 Thread 'Elliot Killick' via qubes-users
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hello, all!

Not too long ago I released qvm-create-windows-qube but quit pushing
changes for a while because I realized there was still a of work to be
done and I wanted to get it out of the dev/beta phase before releasing a
new version.

Well, it's over 200 commits later and I would say it's well out of
beta now.

Biggest new features include:

  * Use a much newer Windows 7 7601 ISO for Windows 7
  * Support Windows 8.1-10 Pro/Enterprise (ISO downloads from Microsoft
included)
  * Support Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (Also download provided)
  * Support Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Server 2019 (Also downloads
provided)
  * Chocolatey integration
  * Option to slim down Windows installation (Similar to the following
but much more refined due to especially the disabling of services I
found could break things in a way that would result in a bad UX,
also expanded for Windows 10:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-template-customization/)
  * Test signing Qubes GUI driver is now enabled during Windows
installation process to skip a reboot
  * Hardcoding trial product key in answer files (or anywhere) is no
longer necessary, Windows will use embedded trial key without any
user interaction by default
  * windows-mgmt is air gapped
  * Travis CI is being used for integration testing
  * Tons of code cleanup, reorganization and refactoring  (I'm of the
OpenBSD mindset where having clean (correct) code is just as
important as having functional code, so a lot of stuff just got
rewritten)
  * Everything is much more stable (No more lame sleeps for arbitrary
amounts of time)
  * MIT license

Additionally, I made a PGP key (also using Qubes Split GPG) so hopefully
my code and anything I else I make can reach you a lot more securely.

Repo can be found here, please star if you find it useful :)

https://github.com/elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube

I'm working towards having this project be similar (or superior) to
VMWare's Windows "Easy Install" feature but on Qubes:
