        If $True, networks specified in $LABConfig.AdditionalNetworksConfig will be added.

    MGMTNICsInDC (Optional)
        If nothing specified, then just 1 NIC is added in DC.

        Allowed VLANs configured on all management adapters. Accepts "1-10" or "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10"

    Internet (Optional)
        If $True, it will configure vSwitch based on following Logic (designed to not ask you anything most of the times):
            If no vSwitch exists:
                If only one connected adapter exists, then it will create vSwitch from it.
                If more connected adapters exists, it will ask for only one
            If vSwitch named "$($labconfig.Prefix)$($labconfig.Switchname)-External" exists, it will be used (in case lab already exists)
            If only one vSwitch exists, then it will be used
            If more vSwitches exists, you will be prompted for what to use.
        It will add vNIC to DC and configure NAT with some Open DNS servers in DNS forwarder

    UseHostDnsAsForwarder (Optional)
        If $true, local DNS servers will be used as DNS forwarders in DC when Internet is enabled.
        By default local host's DNS servers will be used as forwarders.

    CustomDnsForwarders (Optional)
        If configured, DNS servers listed will be appended to DNS forwaders list on DC's DNS server.
        If not defined at all, commonly known DNS servers will be used as a fallback:

        Specify input like '10.1.0.0' or '192.168.0.0'
        If not defined at all, DHCP scope 10.0.0.0 will be used.

    PullServerDC (optional)
        If $False, Pull Server will not be setup.

    ServerISOFolder
        Example: ServerISOFolder="d:\ISO\Server2016"
        Script will try to find ISO in this folder and subfolders. If more ISOs are present, then out-grid view is called and you will be promted to select only one

    ServerMSUsFolder
        Example: ServerMSUsFolder="d:\Updates\Server2016"
        If ServerISOFolder is specified, then updates are being grabbed from ServerMSUsFolder.
        If ServerMSUsFolder is not specified, or empty, you are not asked for providing MSU files and no MSUs are applied.

    DCVMProcessorCount (optional)
        Example: DCVMProcessorCount=4
        Number of CPUs in DC.
        If not specified, 2 vCPUs will be set. If specified more/less, processorcount will be modified. If more vCPUs specified than available in host, the maximum possible number will be configured.

    EnableGuestServiceInterface (optional)
        Example: EnableGuestServiceInterface=$true
        If True, then Guest Services integration component will be enabled on all VMs. This allows simple file copy from host to guests.

    DCVMVersion
        Example: DCVMVersion="8.0" (optional)
        If set, version for DC will be used. It is useful if you want to keep DC older to be able to use it on previous versions of OS.

    TelemetryLevel (optional)
        Example: TelemetryLevel="Full"
        If set, scripts will not prompt for telemetry. Can be "None","Basic","Full"
        For more info see https://aka.ms/mslab/telemetry

    TelemetryNickname (optional)
        Example: TelemetryNickname="Jaromirk"
        If configured, telemetry will be sent with NickName to correlate data to specified NickName. So when leaderboards will be published, MSLab users will be able to see their own stats

    Linux (optional)
        Example: Linux=$true
        If set to $true, additional prerequisities (SSH Client, SSH Key, Packer, Packer templates) required for building Linux images will be downloaded and configured.

    LinuxAdminName (optional)
        Example: LinuxAdminName="linuxadmin"
        If set, local user account with that name will be created in Linux image. If not, DomainAdminName will be used as a local account.

    SshKeyPath (optional)
        Example: SshKeyPath="$($env:USERPROFILE)\.ssh\id_rsa"
        If configured, existing SSH key will be used for building and connecting to Linux images. If not, 0_Prereq.ps1 will generate a new SSH key pair and store it locally in LAB folder.

    AutoStartAfterDeploy (optional)
        Example: AutoClosePSWindows=$true
        If set to true, the PowerShell console windows will automatically close once the script has completed successfully. Best suited for use in automated deployments.

    AutoCleanup (optional)
        Example: AutoCleanUp=$true
        If set to true, after creating initial parent disks, files that are no longer necessary will be cleaned up. Best suited for use in automated deployments.

        'Win2016NanoHV_G2.vhdx'   - Windows Server 2016 Nano with these packages: DSC, Failover Cluster, Guest, Storage, SCVMM, Compute, SCVMM Compute
        'Win10_G2.vhdx'        - Windows 10 if you selected to hydrate it with create client parent.

    AdditionalNetworks (Optional)
        $True - Additional networks (configured in AdditonalNetworkConfig) are added

            IpConfiguration    (Optional)  - DHCP or hastable with specific IP configuration
            @{
                IpAddress      (Mandatory) - Static IP Address that would be injected to the OS
                Subnet         (Mandatory)
            }
        }

    DSCMode (Optional)
        If 'Pull', VMs will be configured to Pull config from DC.

    Config
        You can specify random Config names to identify configuration that should be pulled from pull server

        If $True, then ToolsVHD will be added

    Unattend
        Example: Unattend="DjoinCred"
        Possible values: "DjoinBlob", "DjoinCred", "NoDjoin", "None"
        Default "DjoinBlob"
        "DjoinBlob" uses blob, can be consumed only by Windows Server 2016+
        "DjoinCred" uses credentials. Can be used in 2008+
        "NoDjoin" inserts just local admin. For win10 use also AdditionalLocalAdmin
        "None" does not inject any unattend.

    LinuxDomainJoin
        Example: LinuxDomainJoin="No"
        Possible values: "No", "SSSD"
        Default: SSSD

    SkipDjoin (Optional,Deprecated)
        If $True, VM will not be djoined. Default unattend used.
        Note: you might want to use AdditionalLocalAdmin variable with Windows 10 as local administrator account is by default disabled there.

    Win2012Djoin (Optional,Deprecated)
        If $True, older way to domain join will be used (Username and Password in Answer File instead of blob) as Djoin Blob works only in Win 2016

    AdditionalLocalAdmin (Optional, only applies if Unattend="NoDjoin")
        Example AdditionalLocalAdmin='Ned'
        Works only with SkipDjoin as you usually don't need additional local account
        When you skipDjoin on Windows10 and local administrator is disabled. Then AdditionalLocalAdmin is useful

    VMProcessorCount (Optional)
        Example VMProcessorCount=8

    #DisableTimeIC (Optional)
        Example DisableTimeIC=$true
        if $true, time Hyper-V Time Synchronization Integration Service (VMICTimeProvider) will be disabled

    #VMVersion (Optional)
        Example VMVersion="10.0"
        default versions - Windows Server 2022 = 10.0, Widnows Server 2025 = 12.0

    #AttachISO (optional)
        Example AttachISO="WindowsServer2025.iso"
        it will mount iso specified from Parent Disks

    #SecureBoot (optional)
        Example Secureboot="Linux"
        enables/disables secure boot for VM
        possible values: windows,linux,disabled
        Default: windows for windows machines, disabled for linux VMs

    #BlankVHDSize
        Example BlankVHDSize="250GB"
        If ParentVHD is not specified, then new blank VHD will be created with this size. Default is 250GB
