Answer 1

Hi , Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

This error usually indicates that the OS image you are using is not properly prepared for deployment. Simple solution is to recreate the OS image and check if you are facing the same issue. To drill down further, you can consider the following points.

1. Check with the sysprep errors if any, it normally takes 10 - 15 minutes to complete, so you should wait until the VM is in a stopped state before proceeding.
2. Check if you have used an unsupported or incompatible OS image for the VM creation option you have chosen. You should verify that the OS image you are using is supported for the VM creation option you have chosen, such as CreateOption=FromImage or CreateOption=Attach.
