Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
I heard about devbox [1] but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it could suit your needs.
Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time. Windows includes a snapshot feature built-in but I did not really trusted it. These days you can use a "sysprep" tool [2] to create a similar system snapshot. Make a partition and keep everything you don't want deleted on drive D: or something :-).

How to : Proxmox Windows VM to discard changes after reboot
With standard computers, I usually deploy something like the fog project and automate the process over pxe with scheduled reboots. I guess you could do that as well with your VMs but that seems overkill.

Best procedure to run a small computer lab.
you could setup a PXE server and automate installs. you could also clone them and reapply the image as needed. https://fogproject.org/ or lookup CloneZilla both are open source

Can you auto-wipe to base image without domain?
Microsoft used to have a free tool called SteadyState to do this, but it's been discontinued for a while. It took a different approach of undoing changes rather than restoring from image but it worked great with Kiosk mode. There are remote management tools that can wipe and reimage managed machines, most of them don't require an AD domain. As an example FOG Project.

Need advice on how to "fix" my company's Drive structure.
I'm going through this with a sub-org we own. Luckily, management mandated that it's their responsibility to un-f*** the mess they themselves created. If you can get buy-in from above, set the option to allow users to create their own shared drives, and have them start moving stuff over. Short of that, welcome to GAMADV-XTD3 amigo.

Shared Contacts and contact lists
Complex and free: Still, use a Google Sheet to manage the contacts that are to be shared, but use GAMADV-XTD3 to add them as Domain Shared Contacts. GAM can even be scheduled to read from the Sheet, so changes are pushed to DSC regularly.

Drive API -- List all files in tenant?
I often reach for a 3rd party app for this use case. https://www.patronum.io/google-drive-management/ has some great features. GAT is another service that comes to mind > https://gatlabs.com/google-drive-management-security-and-auditing/ GAM is a cmd line tool if you're looking for something more in line with that: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3
