= Specializing a Windows VM
|
|
|
|
Specializing a virtual machine configures the computer-specific information from the image onto the VM.
|
|
|
|
[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====
|
|
You must generalize the root disk before specializing the virtual machine.

.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Use the {VirtProductName} web console VM wizard to create a new Windows VM.
|
|
. When selecting the `Boot Source`, choose `Clone existing PVC`, and clone the PVC from the initial VM root disk.
|
|
. Click *Customize virtual machine* -> *Advanced*
|
|
. Under *Sysprep*, specify the `unattend.xml` answer file settings following link:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/update-windows-settings-and-scripts-create-your-own-answer-file-sxs[Microsoft guidelines].
|
|
. Add filler information to the `autounattend.xml` answer file settings.
|
|
. Start the VM. On first boot, Windows will use the `unattend.xml` answer file to specialize the VM. The VM is now ready to use.
