To build a lab with Proxmox for testing purposes, I want to import a dozen of windows workstation images. To simulate a real environment, those workstations have to be populated (documents, files on desktops, emails in outlook…)

Is there any tool that allows to automate or build those images filled already?

Why do you want to import VMs from a different hypervisor? Why not build an ‘golden image’ on your Proxmox machine, and create a template out of it.

This is basicly how I create my new VMs. I keep a relatively updated ‘golden image’ in my library and clone that to a VM as many times as I need. To be fair, I’m running ESXi. I have no idea if Proxmox even has this as a feature.
