Can't acces to syspreped VM


I'm trying to automate things with Windows Server 2016. Now I can't acces a syspreped VM via PowerShell Direct because you have to set password for the Administrator account. How can I access this server?

PS> icm -VMName S2D1 { ipconfig }
cmdlet Invoke-Command at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
The credential is invalid.
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (S2D1:String) [], PSDirectException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionStateBroken

Solution

  • I have to create an answer file using the Windows SIM (System Image Manager) which is part of the Windows 10 ADK
    I have to place the answer file inside of the VHDX by mounting it in Windows 10 and then placing the unattend.xml file in the path C:\Windows\Panther
