<!--************************************************* Windows Server 2019 Answer File Generator Created using Windows AFG found at: ;http://www.windowsafg.com Installation Notes: - We currently assume your image is using a licesnsed media, and hard code product keys accordingly - ProductKey: must be removed if using an eval version - The OOBE and UserAccounts sections: might be removed for administrator details - The Timezone in this file should match the location your using (otherwise you hit race conditions related to time.windows.com) - We hard code an administrative passcode in here, which administrators may need to modify - There are many other parameters in here which may need to be changed. Over time we will parameterize these as part of the image-builder process **************************************************--> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend
