Templates for own Virtual Machines

The current VM templates can be found within the bwLehrpool-Suite under 'Öffentliche VMs'. These are available statewide for all institutions participating in bwLehrpool. You can either download the desired VMs directly to your local machine and edit them locally, or you can load the desired VM without going to your home satellite server.

Please note that software may be included which requires a license. Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office are usually covered by their corresponding state licenses. If necessary, contact your license administrator directly.

The operating systems Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as well as openSUSE 13.2, are available in 64-bit. For older hardware that does not support 64-bit, we also offer a template with 32-bit Windows 7. All VMs are specially prepared for use in bwLehrpool (group policies, registry entries, pool printers, etc.).

The templates come in two variants:

  • The basic VMs contain a clean, up-to-date Windows without any special additional software.
  • The standard VMs come Firefox, MS-Office, LibreOffice, Adobe Reader, Notepad++, VLC, Paint.Net, Gimp, Filezilla and 7-Zip installed.

There are two users with password.
