        Thank you for testing

        i will (after working hours) deploy again and show the trace.

        i have been testing with different disk size values and on my side anything higher than 2000mb fails back to 2mib.

        at least i know its not the template but something else causing this. i wonder what..
        i do have enough diskspace left so thats not the issue.

          Hi, i have added a log file.

          would it matter if i run this on an ssd or not?

            @wezke I see no obvious line to explain why you have an issue with the disk size. The only difference between my build and yours is that you are using the windows 386 version of the builder, and I'm running on Debian.
            Can you try the amd64 version ?

              @AtaxyaNetwork Again, thank you for youre time

              i will test the amd64 builder, thats a good suggestion, hopefully that wil solve the issue.

              I also have an issue with the memory config, it will only take 1gb memory.

              perhaps there is an limitation or problem with the windows 386 version

              i will let you know the outcome

                That did solve the problem, guess the 386 is the 32bit version, doh!

                succeeded making debian template with packer, now on to the windows server 2022 template

                  @wezke Great news !

                  Also, If you'd like to share the packer configuration for windows, I'm interested! I'm curious to see the difference between Linux and Windows boot config

                      Do you mean the actual packer pkr.hcl fiel or the unattented.xml?

                      I still need to figure the actual packer file out, hoping it wil be quite similar.

                      i do have an windows server unattended.xml that works with proxmox, just will have to slightly adjust.

                      however i can share both when im done with it
