VDS_Win08S, VDS_Win0864S, VDS_Win08E, VDS_Win0864E, VDS_Win08DC, VDS_Win0864DC, VDS_Win08W, VDS_Win0864W, VDS_Win12S, and VDS_Win12DC are virtual dedicated server applications. VDI_Win7E, VDI_Win764E, VDI_Win8E, and VDI_Win864E are virtual desktop instance applications. They are designed to be deployed as standalone applications with no catalog parts.
VDS and VDI applications can scale from approximately one twentieth of a physical server to a full physical server depending on the resource needs of the end user.
VDS and VDI applications include a basic build environment with GCC (if available).
VDS and VDI applications are provided to allow hosting providers a quick and easy way to offer a dedicated server offering on the CA AppLogic® Grid.
VDS and VDI applications configure themselves through properties on first boot. The initial user is created and the root password is placed in a file (/home/<user>/su.txt). VDS and VDI applications can be reset to their default properties by deleting /appliance/passwd.stamp from the appliance and restarting the application.
Support for Windows Server 2008 based appliances and applications are available in versions later than 2.9.1. Support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 7 and 8 based appliances and applications are available in versions later than 3.7.7.
Note: These applications are not installed on the grid. For instructions on installing the applications, refer to the Windows Installation section of the Appliance Developer Guide.

VDS_WIN08x is to be used by hosting providers to offer dedicated servers using CA AppLogic® without the need for any other 3rd party software or licenses.
VDS_WIN08x is distributed only as an application containing a single instance of the appliance and does not reside in any catalogs.
By way of example, provisioning VDS_WIN03S can be done by running a single command that can be automated from the providers portal.
app provision VDS_WIN03S_r14 ExampleClient \
user=Exampleuser user_pw=abcd1234 admin_pw=acbde12345 \
primary_ip=fe80::1/64 secondary_ip=209.100.100.12 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=209.100.100.1 \
ipv6_gateway=fe80::10 hostname=mydomain.com dns1=fe80::5 dns2=209.101.1.3 \
cpu.dflt=0.50 mem.dflt=1G VDS_WIN03S.boot.size=10G
VDS_WIN03x uses the following 3rd party/open source packages from Cygwin in addition to any 3rd party/open source packages which may be installed with Windows itself.
VDS_WIN08x uses the following 3rd party/open source packages from Cygwin in addition to any 3rd party/open source packages which may be installed with Windows itself.

See the Appliance Catalog Reference Guide for significant details on the operation of Windows appliances under CA AppLogic®.
The following directories MUST be left intact. Any changes to any files in these directories can cause the appliance to stop working.
Preventing vmad or vme from the c:\appliance directory from running on start will cause the appliance to stop working (on next restart).
