Automating deployment of Windows Server core with PowerShell or Answer file ?

Question

Hi All,

Using the Windows Server 2022.ISO file from https://info.microsoft.com/ww-landing-windows-server-2022.html, I wonder how can I automate the deployment of the Windows Server Core 2022 as a VM with the following specification:

1. Named as ServerX-VM  
2. Using Static IP: 10.1.1.X, Static Primary and Secondary DNS Servers.  
3. Joined the AD DS Domain name: Corp.local  
4. Check, Download and Apply the latest Windows update patch.  

I will need to deploy about 10+ VMs, so the X above will be replaced with digits from 0 to 9 and so on.

How can I do it automatically? using PowerShell or other methods?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Kindly check the details below.

With Windows PowerShell you can easily run deployment commands to change the configuration of your deployment, like tasks that can be performed from the Deployment Manager user interface. You can also use the methods described in the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Web Services to perform these tasks. The PowerShell cmdlets are installed on the computer when you install a Full Server role or when you install the Deployment Tools server role, if you’re installing individual server roles. To execute commands, you must first register the Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement commands with PowerShell. This topic describes how to do these plus additional tasks to help you use PowerShell.
