.SYNOPSIS Prepares an Hyper-V ready-to-boot Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 2 - Nano Server Virtual Hard Disk (.vhd) from an ISO file previously downloaded.

.DESCRIPTION This script automatizes the process of building a Nano Server image based on the second Technical Preview of Windows Server 2016 as specified by the TechNet article (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt126167.aspx)

A modified version of the Convert-Image script is used to avoid an incorrect detection
of Windows 10 as an older version than Windows 8. 

The latest version of this scripts is available on the following GitHub repository.
