Since we don’t have access to Virtual Machine Managerand its VM Templates functionality, I opted to write a script that would use the VHDX file of the gold master as the base for new VMs.


Since this is the sort of thing that easily causes problems through a lack of standardised configuration, I decided to create a template VM that we could use as a gold master image. Some time back, I found out that my colleagues and I were using a variety of different approaches whenever we needed to create new VMs in our production environment.
