### Generating the Windows OS Templare

Windows OS template is not shipped together with HSPcomplete. You can generate it manually from the Windows 2003 Advanced Server distribution CD. One OS template per one Windows legal CD.

Please, refer to the Virtuozzo user documentation for instructions on how to use the Virtuozzo Management Console.

To generate the Windows OS template, log in to the Virtuozzo Management Console (VZMC), and select the Hardware Node you need. Then insert the Windows distribution CD into this Virtuozzo Windows Hardware Node and generate the OS template using the VZMC tools.

The Windows OS templates should not be installed on the Management Node. They stay on Virtuozzo Windows Hardware Nodes.

However, it is necessary to add the information about this OS template to the HSPcomplete database similarly to how you install an OS template to the Management Node and after this synchronize this OS template with Hardware Node. The main difference is that in case of Windows OS template should be registered exactly for the Hardware Node where it was generated.

Thus, after the Windows OS template is generated, you will need to:

1. Register the template itself in HSPcomplete.
2. Register in HSPcomplete that this OS template is installed on a Hardware Node.
