Note, if we were doing the PVSCSI we would have to disable the floppy controller after the VM had the OS installed and running as the driver for PVSCSI is floppy based.
After all, it may not be used on the domain after all. However, I like to be careful, and I think a little extra work on the VM before it becomes a template is good. I do more configuration of the virtual machine below then I need to.

Update – Thanks to a comment from I thought I would add a little more info on the process. You can always skim through if you only need a little help. This is to make sure I can help the people that need more help, but yet I am trying to not put too much so I don’t put off those who don’t need more help. ProcessīTW, I am putting what I consider is more than I need to in terms of instructions and screenshots. I should also note that I am not using PVSCSI in any of my labs currently but plan on in the near future. I may add a new article for that, or update this one. Note: I am not installing the PVSCSI driver in this process.

Find the bits here to install on your work machine, and you can read a little about it here.
I will keep this article current by using it as necessary and improving it when I learn something new so keep an eye on it. I also used the vSphere Web Client as you will see in the screenshots. I did this with vSphere 5.5 U1 and Windows 2012 R2. It should work great for you and if not then let me know.
This is a template outline I have used several times and am very happy with it.
