Dependencies for mgmt server to run on windows. 1. ssh-keygen tool ( default available on linux. Its required to generate id_rsa_cloud keys) 2. mount cmd ( this is used by vmware/hyperv to mount sec storage on mgmt server to copy the systemvm.iso to copy to Hosts) 3. injectkeys.sh ( this is binary file executes on mgmt server to inject the dynamically generated sshkeys to systemvm.iso. its bash file) 4. there is some code part in mgmt. server where "sudo" cmd is uses to execute the bash files. We have to rewrite those parts to handle it for windows. 5. Mkisofs this is used to generate the systemvm.iso My thought for the dependencies 1. we can generate ssh-keygen binary from c source or use the putty keygen utility to generate the keys. [Damoder] I also looked into it and found only putty utility as useful one for now assuming that keys will be available already. Probably will think on it once POC is done. 2. Mount ( we have to rewrite the code in mgmt. server to handle how to copy in nfs or cifs remote path by referencing them locally) [Damoder] We are thinking to use Samba integration here 3. For injectkeys.sh We have to write a new to bat file /python which will do the similar job. [Damoder] We have written a python script for this. This is in testing mode right now. 4. There is already windows binary mkisofs is available we can use it. [Damoder] Windows binary of mkisofs is working fine.

Though it runs on windows under Cygwin terminal with some effort, I'd like to introduce this feature to make sure that the management server runs on windows without any dependencies on Cygwin etc. The Jira Ticket : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6105 FS : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Cloudstack+Windowsfication Feedback/comments are welcome. Thanks & Regards Damodar/
