boolean. When the window is opened, it will contain a single tab, or more than one tab if url is given and includes an array containing more than one URL. By default scripts running in these pages are not allowed to close their tab using window.close(). If you include allowScriptsToClose and set it to true, then this default behavior is changed, so scripts can close their tabs. Note that:
integer. The number of pixels to position the new window from the left edge of the screen. If not specified, the new window is offset naturally from the last focused window. This value is ignored for panels. (In Firefox, this value currently is ignored for popups (bug 1271047) but can be set using browser.windows.update().)
string. Use this to add a string to the beginning of the browser window's title. Depending on the underlying operating system, this might not work on browser windows that don't have a title (such as about:blank in Firefox).
integer. The number of pixels to position the new window from the top edge of the screen. If not specified, the new window is offset naturally from the last focused window. This value is ignored for panels. (In Firefox, this value currently is ignored for popups (bug 1271047) but can be set using browser.windows.update().)
string or array of strings. A URL or array of URLs to open as tabs in the window. Fully-qualified URLs must include a scheme (i.e. , not www.google.com). Relative URLs will be relative to the current page within the extension. Defaults to the New Tab Page.
A Promise that will be fulfilled with a windows.Window object containing the details of the new window. This Window object will always have its tabs property set, unlike the Window objects returned from windows.get() and similar APIs, which only contain tabs if the populate option is passed. If any error occurs, the promise will be rejected with an error message.
Compute Engine providespublic images with Windows Serverthat you can use to create instances. For instructions on how to create aWindows Server instance with SQL Server preinstalled, seeCreating SQL Server instances.
To create an instance with Windows Server, specify the imagefamily for the specific version of Windows that you need.Compute Engine offers several versions of Windows Server, most ofwhich are available asShielded VM images.Shielded VM images offer security features like UEFI-compliantfirmware, Secure Boot, and vTPM-protected Measured Boot. For a list of theavailable image families, see publicimages.
If you need more than two concurrent remote desktop sessions, you will need topurchase Remote Desktop Session (RDS) Client Access Licenses (CALs). For moreinformation, see License your RDS deployment with client access licenses(CALs).
If you plan on using Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with your new instance,make sure the instance name is no longer than 15 characters, to meet the statedmaximum name length restrictions of the system.
AD uses the NetBIOS names of machines, which are generated as the instance nametruncated to 15 characters. As a result, you might encounter the following errorwhen trying to sign in as a domain user:The Security Database on the Server does not have a Computer Account for this Workstation Trust Relationship.
If you want to turn off the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM),clear the Turn on vTPM checkbox. The vTPM enables MeasuredBoot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For moreinformation, seeVirtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
If you want to turn off integrity monitoring, clear theTurn on Integrity Monitoring checkbox. Integrity monitoring letsyou monitor the boot integrity of yourShielded VM VMs using Cloud Monitoring.For more information, seeIntegrity monitoring.
--no-shielded-vtpm: Disable the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM). The vTPM enables Measured Boot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For more information, see Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
--no-shielded-integrity-monitoring: Disable integrity monitoring. Integrity monitoring lets you monitor the boot integrity of your Shielded VM instances using Cloud Monitoring. For more information, see Integrity monitoring.
enableVtpm: Enable or disable the virtual trusted platform module (vTPM). The vTPM enables Measured Boot, which validates the VM pre-boot and boot integrity. For more information, see Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM).
enableIntegrityMonitoring: Enable or disable integrity monitoring. Integrity monitoring lets you monitor and verify the runtime boot integrity of your Shielded VM instances using Cloud Monitoring reports. For more information, see Integrity monitoring.
Before you can create a Windows Server instance that has only an internal IPaddress, you must verify or configure routes and firewall rules in yourVPC network to allow access tokms.windows.googlecloud.com. Additionally, you mustenablePrivate Google Accessfor subnets in your VPC network that contain Windows instanceswith only internal IP addresses.
Because this instance does not have an external IP address, you cannot connectto it directly over the Internet. You can connect from another network connectedto your VPC network by usingCloud Interconnect orCloud VPN,or you can first connect to a bastion instance over RDP and then connect to theinstance that has only an internal IP address.
Your Windows instances must be able to reach kms.windows.googlecloud.com(35.190.247.13) through a route whose next hop is the default Internetgateway. You cannot activate Windows instances using an instance based NATgateway or Cloud NAT because kms.windows.googlecloud.com rejectsactivation requests from IP addresses that are not confirmed to beCompute Engine instances.
You can use the default route in yourVPC network to route traffic directly tokms.windows.googlecloud.com. If you remove this route, or if you plan to do soin the future, create a custom staticroute with destination 35.190.247.13 andnext hop set to default Internet gateway:
Either the default route or a custom static route as described above will permitinstances with external IP addresses to reach kms.windows.googlecloud.com. Ifyou have Windows instances without external IP addresses or usingCloud NAT, you must also enablePrivate Google Accessso that instances with only internal IP addresses can send traffic to theexternal IP address for kms.windows.googlecloud.com (35.190.247.13).
The implied allow egress firewallrule allows instances to make requests and receive established responses. Unlessyou have created custom firewall rules that deny egress, your Windows instancescan communicate with kms.windows.googlecloud.com.
If you customize firewall rules, it's a good practice to create a high priorityegress allow rule that explicitly permits communication with 35.190.247.13.This way, as you modify your firewall rules, you won't accidentally disableWindows activation.
Windows instances experience a longer startup time because of the sysprepprocess. The Google Cloud console might show that the instance is runningeven if the sysprep process is not yet complete. To check if your instance hassuccessfully started and is ready to be used, check the serial port outputwith the following command:
If you have Windows instances with image versions v20170509 and later orwith agent version 4.1.0 and later, you can set instance configurationin a config file or inproject or instance custom metadata. The config file is inINI format,and is located at the following path:
One benefit of setting these parameters in the config file is that thosesettings persist when you create a custom image for a Windows Server instance.Instance-level custom metadata does not persist beyond the life of the instance.
Normally you use an instance of internal load balancing to directnetwork traffic to one VM instance at a time. If you adda second instance of internal load balancing that uses the failoverclustering VM instances as part of a load-balanced website backend,you would have two internal load balancing IP addresses. If failover clusteringuses 10.0.0.10 and the website's load balancer uses 10.0.0.11,you must specify the IP address of the load balancer that you use for failoverclustering. This disambiguates which address is in use for the cluster.
