For me it fails in VC4 too, the same script...
Am i doing any mistake? it deploys VM then it says unable to customize.. I have changed to Verbose, and no VPXD logs found in VC during the time..
Yes, it worked perfectly with the script in prod environment. Unable to identify whats the issue. Ok now i modified little more, getting another new error
I need to inform my requirement here,
If i m creating Spec in VC through GUI, i shouldnot pass my domain & domain credentials there. I should pass those info through Set-osspec / through script whenever i am executing. Simple word it should not be constant, bcoz everyone will run this script, so their own credentials needs to be used.
If i am not creating spec through VC (GUI mode), i need to use new-oscustomizationspec, in it i need to pass data. Please assist me.
