New VM from Library: customization desen't propmt for IP

Hi,

I'm using vSphere 6.5 with a content library populated with s windows 2012 template. In the vceneter customization spec manager I've created a specification that has to prompt me fro an IP.

If I deploy a VM from a template NOT in library, using the customization decribed obove, it correctly prompts me for the IP address

If I deploy a VM from a template in library, using the customization decribed obove, it DO NOT prompts me for the IP address

Any idea?

Thanks

Hello,

I could not find a definitive answer on this, there is some information pointing to this being expected behavior, though it is not confirmed. If you want to look further into this please open a Support request to troubleshoot.

This is a limitation .

""Deploying vm from Content Library using template does not prompt for IP when Guest Customization Spec(prompt user for ipv4 address) is selected""

This has gone as a feature request as Content Library API doesn't provide API support to update the Guest Customization spec as of now. Hoping to see this is future.
