There is not an option to "Force Stop" instance.

Please advise on next steps.
thank you
I'm currently running a 2019 windows instance on macOS as I am running software that I can't use on macOS on my Windows Instance. Whenever I want to connect to my EC2 instance, I have to download a new RDP file because it won't launch automatically even though I've downloaded the SSM Agent onto it. Is there anyway I can get it to connect to my instance automatically instead of me having to download a new RDP file and manually entering the password each time?
Hi,
I set up security group for the instance, as you know I added rules for the ports over there
Do I need to enable ufw ? When I did 'sudo ufw status', it says 'status inactive'
Thanks

I am using Windows Server 2019 Datacenter in EC2 Instance. Now I received the following error:
**"We can't activate Windows on this device as we can’t connect to your organization's activation server. Make sure you're connected to your organization's network and try again. If you continue having problems with activation, contact your organization's support person. Error code: ‘OxC004F074"**
For your kind reference, I also attached the image for the same.
Kindly help me to activate the windows.
I didn't change the default password and used to connect with default password. But today when I try to connect, it says the password is changed. I try to retrieve default password from console as usual but it says the password is invalid. I have to connect and deploy on server within deadline so I need support asap.



Scenario:
I have a .bat script on a windows machine, which has 32 cores.
It does a bunch of context setup and then calls a python script that runs 24 parallel threads via multiprocessing library. Each thread moves some data around a network and then does some calculations via a 3rd-party program by calling win32com.client.
When I login to the machine and run this script - via CMD or powershell - it does exactly what is expected - I see 24 python instances spin up (in task manager) and eventually 24 instances of the 3rd party software. CPU usage trends towards 100% for a little while. RAM goes towards 25-30 GB. Eventually, it finishes and everything looks good. (I've also tested with different instance sizes and different numbers of threads, etc - the point is the code runs as expected)
If I run the **exact same script** via a SSM "AWS-RunPowerShellScript" run command, I get different behavior:
The context still gets setup and the python code still runs. I still see 24 python instances in task manager, b**ut never more than 10-12 instances of the 3rd party software**. The other threads get errors like this:
File "C:\Users\Administrator\Anaconda3\envs\python_3x\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 86, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221008, 'CoInitialize has not been called.', None, None)
or this:
File "C:\Users\Administrator\Anaconda3\envs\python_3x\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 86, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None)
or this:
File "C:\Users\Administrator\Anaconda3\envs\python_3x\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 368, in _ApplyTypes_
result = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'thirdparty app', "Access violation at address 0000000000625F98 in module 'thirdparty.exe'. Read of address 0000000000000460", None, 0, -2147418113), None)
So what's different about running as systems manager?
The user is different. The domain is different. There is not necessarily an active logic (though I get the same behavior whether I have an active RDP window the machine or not).
But none of those explain why some threads would be able to get a com connection and some would not.
Does anyone know anything that could be helpful here?
Hi, I was asked to provide 2 instances for a development project. One instance will use Windows Server and the other CentOS.
They need each of the instances to have two network cards, one for internet connection and the other to be privately connected to the other instance. For example, the second network card of the windows server should be 10.88.8.1 and the second card of the centOS should be 10.88.8.10 and it should be an exclusive connection, but those IPs are out of the range of the primary private IP from each aditional network interface. When adding the extra network cards, I see that they come with a specific private IP but from the instances I can change the IP of each instance: in Windows through CPL and in CentOS from the command line, but I can't ping between them . What would be the simplest way to be able to configure those two extra network cards that the client needs?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
