Let's discuss about Windows Setup (offline) - what would you wish for? - Panther 2.0

Some ideas from Bronson Magnan, who reports from his view of automation of VM images and setup process as service provider and current challenges and possible improvements with a revamed Windows Setup.

1a.   An official PowerShell module/system for generating unattend.xml files would be pretty nice

1b.  OR replace (unattend).xml altogether using JSON file and tools to generate it (JSON is also used by Winget and other Microsoft products. If the output was json, I could convert directly from a class composition, instead of producing arrays of strings according to an ancient xml schema to write to disk

2. Panther Setup 2.0: Improvement for virtual machines: setup should be able to look for HyperVNetworkAdapterName registry keyword in the os netadapter advanced properties, and if there is a named defined in the value,  to match the IP assignment by that name instead of by MAC address?

This way we can name the adapter during vm configuration using consistent device naming feature. Not having to mess with static mac allocations would be a win. (And go ahead and automatically rename the net adapter to match the registry keyword)
