Packer - Azure - SYSPREPexternal Errors Windows 2016 Datacenter

Plain Windows 2016 DataCenter builder via Packer 1.4.4.

Not using any agents in Azure using Azure ARM

{ "type": "powershell", "inline": [ "& $env:SystemRoot\\System32\\Sysprep\\Sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /quiet /quit", "while($true) { $imageState = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\State |Select ImageState; if($imageState.ImageState -ne 'IMAGE_STATE_GENERALIZE_RESEAL_TO_OOBE') { Write-Output $imageState.ImageState; Start-Sleep -s 30  } else { break } }" ] }

Below is what I see:

There are no other errors in the setuperr.log other than the original error from the Microsoft itself. Which is as follows:

2020-05-06 12:19:25, Error SYSPRP setupdigetclassdevs failed with error 0 2020-05-06 12:19:25, Error SYSPRP MRTGeneralize:107 - ERROR: Failed DeleteInstance AntiSpywareProduct.instanceGuid="{D68DDC3A-831F-4FAE-9E44-DA132C1ACF46}" hr=2147749904 2020-05-06 12:19:25, Error SYSPRP MRTGeneralize:116 - ERROR: Failed DeleteInstance AntiVirusProduct.instanceGuid="{D68DDC3A-831F-4FAE-9E44-DA132C1ACF46}" hr=2147749904
