vRO 8 - Guest operations agent could not be contacted - possible timing issue?

[simplysimon1]

I'm a bit of newbie to vRO and not a developer by today's standards.  I'm attempting to use the Run Program in Guest workflow.  I continue to get the error "The guest operations agent could not be contacted. (Workflow:Run program in guest / Scriptable task (itemt1)#16)."  I have verified the servers are  running VMware Tools 12.1 once built.  I can confirm that the guest operations are working appropriately since the previous workflow successfully add a security group to the local administrators group on a Windows 2016, 2019, and 2022 operating systems.  I've seen where other sites indicating this could be due to a timing issue.  Thought's on how I can add to the code below to address a timing issue would be appreciated.

Note:  when running the Run Program in Guest workflow by itself manually, it works.  

var host = vm.sdkConnection;

var guestOperationsManager = host.guestOperationsManager;

var guestAuth = new VcNamePasswordAuthentication();

guestAuth.username = vmUsername;

guestAuth.password = vmPassword;

guestAuth.interactiveSession = interactiveSession;

var guestProgramSpec = new VcGuestProgramSpec();

guestProgramSpec.programPath = programPath;

guestProgramSpec.arguments = arguments;

guestProgramSpec.workingDirectory = workingDirectory;

guestProgramSpec.envVariables = environment;

var processManager = guestOperationsManager.processManager;

result = processManager.startProgramInGuest(vm , guestAuth , guestProgramSpec);

As your post needs moving to the vRO area, I have reported it to the moderators.
