How to Prepare a Windows VM to import to Amazon EC2

1)
Create a VM and Install Windows 2003 Server
(I used Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x32).

2)
Start Windows 2003 Server VM and Enable Remote Desktop.

Goto MyComputer --> Properties --> Remote --> (Select Check Box) Enable Remote Desktop on this computer.
3)
Find the IP of windows machine using the command "ipconfig" and check locally whether Remote Desktop (RDP) working or not, before importing the VM to EC2.
#rdesktop ip-of-windows-machine

4)
Shut-down the VM


5)
Import to Amazon EC2


6)
Security Group Settings
* Add RDP Group Permission to Security Group.
* Add ICMP Group Permission to Security Group (Optional, For test Ping).

7)
Connect to VM

#rdesktop ip-of-imported-ec2-instance
