NOTE: To create a virtual machine template in SCVMM, make sure the virtual machine template OS Configuration has an administrator password and if necessary, a Windows product key set. To do this, right click the virtual machine template and select "Properties", then select "OS Configuration" and enter a password in Admin Password and a product key in Product Key settings.
NOTE: After preparing the base virtual machine, in case the virtual machine is restarted, the puppet verification file will need to be deleted from system. This file can be found in Windows at C:\ProgramData\puppet_verification_run.txt or in Linux at /var/lib/ puppet_verification_run.txt.
