Old HP ML350p

I have and HP old server up and running and a Hypervisor. This is what I did. Why I did this is due to the fact that the HP ML350p server will only work with Windows server 2008 R2 and ESXi 5.5 versions. 

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. 

I burned a DVD and used that to install it.

 

Then I installed Remote Desktop on Ubuntu.

I too had the blank screen problem. 

Next I installed KVM. This is the Linux version of hypervisor.

Next I  set up a VM for windows server 2019.

Then I made sure that the VM will automatically restart when the host restarts. I have been testing it for days and it works fine.
