The internal template has a default of 5 minutes (300 seconds) to complete customization before it will time out.Note: The internal template 300 seconds cannot be configured or modified as it's hard coded.Example:Domain join usually takes more than a minute. So for instance , if a gpupdate takes more than 4 minutes, it's going to timeout.
Unable to create Instant Clone VMs.
This issue may occur if Group Policy updates takes too long on the CP-Template and this requires internal assessment within your organization to improve the performance / duration of the updates.
To isolate the issue if the group policy update is contributing to the time out , you can set the following registry on the parent image HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\ViewComposer\ga\GPUpdateEnabledOnIT DWORD 0 If this works then to address the issue GPO related issues needs to be fixed.This key is to assist with isolating the issue and it is not recommended as a solution. You can block inheritance and iteratively test policies to isolate the problematic policy.You can follow industry best practices in terms of troubleshooting GP performance.
