    <dc:creator>mlednor</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Deploying Windows Server 2019 virtual machines from template is a great way to streamline the process of getting up and running with a new instance of Windows Server in your vSphere infrastructure quickly and easily. Templates help to take much of the heavy lifting out of the process for deploying Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, and other Windows Server versions. However, there are a few things you want to consider when you look at VMware Windows Server 2019 template best practices.
