= Specializing a Windows virtual machine
|
|
|
|
Specializing a virtual machine (VM) configures the computer-specific information from a generalized Windows image onto the VM.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* You must have a generalized Windows disk image.
|
|
* You must create an `unattend.xml` answer file. See the link:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/update-windows-settings-and-scripts-create-your-own-answer-file-sxs?view=windows-11[Microsoft documentation] for details.

.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. In the {product-title} console, click *Virtualization* -> *Catalog*.
|
|
. Select a Windows template and click *Customize VirtualMachine*.
|
|
. Select *PVC (clone PVC)* from the *Disk source* list.
|
|
. Specify the *Persistent Volume Claim project* and *Persistent Volume Claim name* of the generalized Windows image.
|
|
. Click *Review and create VirtualMachine*.
|
|
. Click the *Scripts* tab.
|
|
. In the *Sysprep* section, click *Edit*, browse to the `unattend.xml` answer file, and click *Save*.
|
|
. Click *Create VirtualMachine*.
|
|
|
|
During the initial boot, Windows uses the `unattend.xml` answer file to specialize the VM. The VM is now ready to use.
