standard provisioning. This property is for virtual provisioning.
VirtualMachine.Admin.CustomizeGuestOSDelay
Specifies the time to wait after customization is complete and
before starting the guest operating system customization. The
value must be in HH:MM:SS format. If the value is not set, the
default value is one minute (00:01:00). If you choose not to
include this custom property, provisioning can fail if the virtual
machine reboots before guest agent work items are completed,
causing provisioning to fail.
