Hi Christoph,

Looking at the context.ps1 script here 
(https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-context-windows/blob/master/context.ps1) 
it appears that:

The format of <DEV>_DNS is a space separated list of DNS server IPs - e.g. 
"192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2"
I can't see where <DEV>_DNS_SEARCH is being set, so I guess it is ignored. I 
would expect this to be a list of search domains - the equivalent to the 
'search <domain>' entry inside nsswitch.conf on Linux/Unix systems.

I would also strongly recommend adding a reboot command (e.g. "shutdown -r -t 0 
-f") to the end of this script as it does not appear to reboot the VM after 
changing the host name. (which isn't particularly safe on windows as certain 
system services only read the hostname at startup - particularly netlogon - you 
can see the effect of this if you connect (by RDP) to a newly contextualized VM 
and you will see that the hostname presented in the machine certificate is 
incorrect)

Cheers

Subject: [one-users] Windows contextualization

Hello,

I want to setup a Windows VM. I found a description about how to contextualize 
a Windows VM under 
http://docs.opennebula.org/4.8/user/virtual_machine_setup/windows_context.html,
but is there anywhere a complete example of a template with context for Windows 
VMs? I neither know how network interfaces in Windows are named (so do not know 
how <DEV>_IP ist to be expanded), nor do I know the correct format for the 
values of  <DEV>_DNS and  <DEV>_SEARCH_DOMAIN.

Regards
  Christoph
