IPS Job failed at step WaitForExportImage with the error: A request made by the job has timed out.

Description
An Image Portability Service (IPS) prepare and publish job fails without any obvious error failure
The PoSH output has this message in it "Job failed at step WaitForPrepareImage with the error: A request made by the job has timed out."
Resolution
The default timeout for the PoSH scripts is 7200 seconds. Increasing the timeout to 21600 seconds should give it enough time to finish successfully.
Problem Cause
When images are imported through IPS that are using an MBR hard disk the disk has to be converted to GPT in order to support UEFI. If the C drive in the image does not have at least 1 GB of free space it can take longer to convert the disk to GPT as the script first has to expand the disk to 1 GB on free space to allow the MBR to GPT conversion to take place.
