VM Clone

I am trying to learn more about vCenter.  The issue i am having is. When I clone an existing m or create a vm from template. I apply a vm customization to it. I selected the Use the virtual machine name to be the computer name but it does not seem to be working. I also wanted to configure it to automatically join newly created vm to be joined to domain, I enter the correct credentials  in side of there as well. Should sysprep be ran on the vms before i create a template from it? Is there something else i need to be doing to get this to work?

Do you want to give the details behind your customization specifications?

Quick answer - All-in-all you shouldn't have to sysprep before.

Disregard. 🙂 Had the post up waiting to reply, but didn't right away so when finally I did it refreshed the page and I saw your response.
