Create an automation to deploy and configure new server from templet in vcsa

I want to shorten the process of preparing a server and getting it into the domain including basic settings.

I'm working on vcenter 6.5 I'd love to get help.

There are several ways to achieve this. If you want the server to be domain joined, configure license and set the administrator password you can use "VM Customization Specifications" and apply it to a VM.

Apply a Customization Specification to a Virtual Machine

You can also use Powershell/PowerCLI to create a more advanced deployment.

Hi,

i have created "Customization Specifications" and applyed it to the VM. The problem is that when the VM is first on the VMnic is disconnected and most of the Customization is not applayed.
