I have FreeNAS-11.0-U2 and am trying to setup a VM for Windows Server 2016.
I've followed the instructions in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbTrG3HRrds), however when I try to install Windows Server it:
- Goes through the installer and copies/installs the files
- Performs the restart at the end of the install
- When booting again after installing, it eventually fails with the blue Windows error screen reporting a SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION
- It attempts to reboot itself but each boot eventually runs into an error, bringing up a pop-up saying windows encountered an error during install and needs to reboot, creating a loop
I've found other users reporting similar issues below, but no one mentions a solution (at least not one that works for me):

Anyone know of a solution/have any recommendations? Thanks all!
