Notes on various !ProxMox Configurations
Creating the Windows Template
Hardware:
Follow the best practices given https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2022_guest_best_practices for creating the VM. Weirdly enough, I couldn't get this to work for Windows 2022 Server, It did work for Windows 2019 Server. For a full reason why, see: ProxMoxWindows2022.
ProxMox Setup
Installed Windows 2019 with all the updates and Firefox. Then ran:
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /mode:vm /shutdown
Then I made it into a template.
Clone the template (not linked!!!) and now I have a machine that can be used for students!
