# OSDCloud Template

OSD 23.5.16.2+ Updated May 18, 2023

Now that you have your Machine Configuration complete, the next thing to do is to create an OSDCloud Template.  This is called a Template as it will be used to create multiple OSDCloud Workspaces (multiple variations).  You'll understand why this is needed over the next few pages

The default OSDCloud Template exists at C:\ProgramData\OSDCloud.  You can create one here using the following command

```powershell
New-OSDCloudTemplate
```

Once you run this command, an OSDCloud Template will be created from the Windows ADK, there's really nothing to it.  If you want to learn more, go through the next few pages

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.osdcloud.com/osdcloud-v1/osdcloud/setup/osdcloud-template.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
