Hi,
I am trying to deploy a virtual machine in VRA with windows customization specification. In my CS I have defined to obtain the hostname during deployment (ask user). So in my machine blueprint I have specified a custom property called "hostname" and assigned my hostname during deployment. However, the deployment fails with following message.
Request failed: Machine vcloud-win03: CustomizeVM : [CustomizeVM_Task] - A specified parameter was not correct: hostname.
Also If I set a name for a virtual machine during deployment it omits the machine prefix "vcloud-win" and also fail to get the hostname.
So how can I provide a separate name for hostname (apart from virtual machine name) and still keep the virtual machine name prefix attached to it?
Thank you.

As I find out the property "Hostname" sets the virtual machine name. not the actual hostname I need to be used during Customization. So when I set the CS to get the hostname from VM name it executes without any error.
Hello!
Is your custom property named "hostname" or "Hostname"? As far as i remember this property must be case sensitive.

Hi Robert,
I tried with both but still I get the same error. I'm just wondering though, Can I use the customization specification to do what I need to do? Or is there a solution outside of Customization specification to configure hostname and AD connectivity?
