VM Deployment with OS Customization Specification

Hi Community

I'm used to deploy new VM from template with Customization Specification Manager file I made under vCenter 6.5U3 GUI.

For automation purposes, i'm trying to make PowerCLI (.ps1) scripts to ease VM deployment, right now i'm just at a test step (line by line execution) and just encounter a problem.

Template details :

- OS Type : Windows

- Take the VM name as Windows' computer name

- Time : GMT +01:00

- 1x NIC who prompt user for IP adress only  (VLAN + netmask + gateway + DNS are already set in the template)

- add the vm into AD Domain

- Do not log in automatically as Administrator

- Sysprep +  generate new SID

- Registration info  : user : xxxx + Organization : xxxx

- Username and password already set too

My issue is  that I'm able to deploy a new VM from template using PowerCli, but when I set -OSCustomizationSpec parameter to use my template, it didn't ask me the IP address, and it doesn't seems to use the VM name as Windows' computer name.

It doesn't seems that i can 100% use the template which was created on vCenter GUI..

Is there a problem from my CLI deployment or a known bug ? Do I have to recreate again the same template but for CLI ?

Thanks
