Issue with Windows Image Deployment

[Delodien]

Hi there,

We have recently deployed a trial of HPE VM Essentials. I've managed to deploy a base image of Windows Server 2022, installed drivers etc. and all is well.

I wanted to create a custom Server 2022 image and found the "Import as Image" option. I ran sysprep on the Server 2022 VM and kept drivers in tact, powered it down and imported the image to the Image Library.

However, when I try deploy another Server 2022 instance based on this imported sysprep'd image - the deployment hangs on "Uploading Image" it gets to 99% and then just hangs there indefinitly.

For context, I also tried this on a Ubuntu 24 VM I deployed, imported the image and this deployed correctly afterwards.

Any assistance appreciated.
