Hmm, its not about patience most probably :), as saw “Internal Server Error” message for “Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $URI -Method PUT -Authentication Basic -Credential $Credentials -SkipCertificateCheck -Headers $Header -ContentType “application/octet-stream” -InFile “$ISONAME” in another attempt, though output file name can be seen in “image” section now but nothing in size of ISO. Will dig more into it and keep you posted if could figure that out.

Thanks Jereon, Good job with this script, however while uploading the iso to cluster, I see the image name but its mostprobably not fully uploaded as in size it shows “-” so not sure if I am missing something

In reply to Jeroen. Thanks.... I created the partitions as mentioned here, but on the C partition size it creates an extra partition into this space for recovery

In reply to Kristof. Hmm i’ve looked into it. (I’m never using the recovery partition). When I got some spare time I will have a look.

Hi Jeroen, nice script!
Though, with this disk layout there is still a recovery partition created on the end of the disk, not in the “pre-configured” one.
Did you experience this too?

In reply to Jeroen.

Thank you for your response, it works indeed. The only downside is that the installation needs to be started manually. Since this is for creating a template, it’s not too bothersome.
Thanks again 🙂

In reply to lejuste. Yes, make sure: $PressKeyToBoot = $True is set ;) Or else the installer keeps booting and booting.

hank you for the script, the driver integration works well. However, when I proceed with the Windows installation, everything goes smoothly, but upon reboot, the VM boots from the ISO and starts the installation again.

Shutting down the VM at the end of the installation process and removing the ISO allows Windows to boot, but I was wondering if you had a solution.
