Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard - Golden Image

bootstrap2019DC.ps1

# provision2019DC.ps1
# Flat Server 2019 1909.4 install to use in creating other 2019 images with Boxstarter
# 1.3 - 5/3/2020
# Author: Phillip Hocking [email protected]
#
# Purpose: This script provisions a base install Microsoft Windows Server 2019 VM Gen 2 Hyper-V instance for the purpose
# of further configuring as a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) or AAD DS (Azure Active Directory Domain Services) connector.
#  
# Caveats: When the Hyper-V bootloader comes up it will say that boot timed out because the amount of time it takes for the 
# Hyper-V connection terminal to connect is longer than the amount of time it gives to you 'press any key to install from cd'
# you just have to give focus to the window and hit space bar or enter for it to actually run the 2019 install
