To deploy multiple instances of a VM with unique computer names, which action should the operator take?

Utilizing a Windows 10 customization specification during the deployment of virtual machines is a valid approach because these specifications are designed to automate the configuration of VMs during the provisioning process. When deploying multiple instances from a template, a customization specification allows for unique settings to be applied to each VM, such as assigning unique computer names, joining Active Directory, and setting network configurations. This automation simplifies the deployment of multiple VMs while ensuring that each VM is configured according to specific requirements.

The other actions, while potentially viable, would not provide the same level of efficiency and automation. Exporting a template and changing the computer name manually could lead to inconsistency and would require additional steps for each VM, creating a more time-consuming process. Simply using the New Virtual Machine wizard allows for the creation of a new VM but does not inherently provide the capability for automatic individual configurations such as unique names. Cloning the template could work for creating multiple VMs, but it requires additional manual adjustments after cloning for each instance, which can be cumbersome and prone to error.

By leveraging the customization specification, the operator can streamline the deployment process, ensuring that each VM is provisioned with unique identifiers quickly and effortlessly. This method is particularly useful in environments where multiple virtual machines need to be
