I'm trying to deploy a Windows 2022 (Option 22) it's getting to the point where it creates the VM and mounts the ISO's but then sits their waiting for an IP. I have this on a port group/vLAN that is DHCP enabled, if I check the console it's not booting, so I checked the ISO/CD-ROM mounts, it looks like it it's mounting the Win2022 ISO but does not connect it, if I manually connect it boot from the 1st CD-ROM in the bios it starts the install then drops to a screen where it says 'No Images Available' Please can you provide some assistance with this, I'm relatively new to the DevOps world.... Thanks Expected BehaviorI expect the build of the VM to complete Actual BehaviorAs described above Steps to ReproduceN/A Log Fragments and FilesNo response ScreenshotsNo response Additional ContextNo response |

Does the datastore path and ISO file name match what's defined in the config? |

Hello everyone
I was running into the same issue last days and the eval version works by removing the "ProductKey" section from the "autounattend.pkrtpl.hcl" file. Hope this saves someone else some time.
Cheers,
