Windows Server - Unable to Install (VNC Disconnects)

[dean.omeara]

Hi,
Has anyone had issues with installing Windows VMs?

Recently installed Ubuntu without a problem however when I go to install a Windows VM all works well in terms of provisioning the VM and powering it on however after pressing any key which prompts the VM to boot from ISO I loose VNC connectivity and cannot connect back to this VM regardless if I use the Web Interface or a VNC Client.

I receive the error 1006 - Connection Refused.
Any ideas?

Dean,
I would recommend that you take a quick look at our forum rules, it will help you get more responses from people here. For example, the title of your thread appears to be about Windows, not a Windows VM on a FreeNAS server or how the server was actually setup or provisioned. It fails to list your hardware and version of FreeNAS you are running, what version of Windows (7, 10, 32-bit/64-bit), etc... It's missing a lot to be honest and people have to make assumptions and that doesn't help anyone out. I'd be happy to rename the thread for you if you desire and please post some details. With any luck you will have a few people engaged to offer some assistance.

Best of luck to you and hope you find a solution.
