+Adjust these values only if your vCenter names are different:
+$WinTemplateName   Template VM used for all Windows Server VMs.
+$LinuxTemplateName Template VM used for ANSIBLE-SRV (Debian 13 GUI).
+
+This script expects these port groups to already exist:
+PG-VLAN10  (Paris-Core)
+PG-VLAN11  (Paris-Dist)
+PG-VLAN12  (Paris-Client)
+PG-VLAN20  (LA-Paris)
+PG-VLAN21  (LA-Lyon)
+PG-VLAN23  (Lyon-Remote)
+
+What the script does:
+- Creates the WS2024 Windows topology VMs as linked clones
+- Sets each VM to 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM
+- Configures network adapters to match the topology
+- Injects cloud-init userdata for ANSIBLE-SRV only
+- Powers on the VM, waits for shutdown, then creates a snapshot named Start
