New Post: AutoSPInstaller takes hours to complete

For some reason my attempt to install SharePoint 2013 via AutoSPInstall consistently takes 5+ hours to complete. Is this the normal?


This is a demo VM environment using Hyper-V 3.0 on Server 2012 R2.

Active Directory Environment:
Server 2012 R2

SQL Environment:
Server 2012 R2
SQL Server 2012 version 11.0.3128.0

SharePoint Environment:
Server 2012
SharePoint 2013 version 15.0.4551.1005 (October 2013 CU)

AutoSPInstaller.xml:

I've largely left the XML default settings changing only domain names and the credentials passwords and domain prefix'.
