I'd like to automatically run a script to provision Windows Servers when I set them up as Dedicated Servers at OVH.

I see that they have an option for an Installation script (URL)], but how do I use it for Windows?

From watching a Windows Server boot in OVH's Remote KVM, I see that the last thing OVH does is run a .cmd file from a zip.

So after testing it, I found that you must:

  • Provide a URL to a .zip file for the Installation script (URL)
  • Containing a batch file ending in the extension .cmd
  • Which will get run as Admin as the last setup step
  • And will output its results to c:\ovhupd\script\customerscriptlog.txt

You can also provide any other supporting files you want, as long as they don't end in .cmd

Protip: Run cd /d "%~dp0" at the beginning of your .cmd script to change directory to where your script is
