Recently stumbled upon something to make my life easier as I find myself spinning up VMs on Hyper-V constantly to perform testing and validation. I prefer to have completely clean installs and tend to not reuse a VM for later testing. This can result in a sort of “blindspot” to finding artifacts on an actually “used” computer. This post isn’t about that though. When creating my VMs I have always made use of Answer files to automate the installation and configuration to reduce human error and increase repeatability. You can use https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ to generate different Answer files.
