I'm attempting to take our existing MDT based Windows 7 image deployment process and put it into vCAC. In doing so I've created the blueprint and setup the groups/reservations etc all correctly and I'm able to request one of the Win7 images.
When the VM is created and setup the ISO is set to "[]". It doesn't boot the ISO that I need to have for MDT to work with a WIM deployment model. I have the custom property set of Image.ISO.Name to /vm_iso/pcteam/bootcd.iso which is the /datastore/location if I browse to it.
I've tried
/vm_iso/pcteam/bootcd.iso
[vm_iso] pcteam/bootcd.iso
What am I missing here?
Got it finally.. the documentation is a bit misleading, though accurate. It has up at the top the Image.ISO.Location and then in the big list of options needed it shows Image.ISO.Name.
To make this work right the correct way to do this is
Image.ISO.Location = vm_iso
Image.ISO.Name = /pcteam/bootcd.iso
Works great now.
Before I actually try this myself, can you try [vm_iso]/pcteam/bootcd.iso
That's the format I used yesterday when setting logging to a Datastore folder which worked. I'm assuming vm_iso is the name of the Datastore?

That didn't work.
I've tried the following also now:
[vm_iso]/pcteam/bootcd.iso
[vm_iso] /pcteam/bootcd.iso
(note the space between the ] and /)
Still comes up as a [] every time. Runing vCenter 5.5 - 1750787
