Create VM from Blueprint

[JimKnopf99]

Hello,

i am new to vRealize automation and stuck at creating a VM from a Blueprint.

I have created a Blueprint to create a VM. I have added a Customizaton Script to apply domain information and sysprep the VM.

The VM is created successfully.

I have added a domain policy and added that policy to my business group.

If i now create a VM, it is creating the domain machine account but if after the workflow is completed, the vm is not part of my domain.

If i do the same thing without my customization script, the VM is ready to use and part of my domain. But i did not use sysprep.

How to use both parts? My customization and the active directory policy? Or is that not possible?

Do i have to create custom properties to use both?

Thanks

Frank

Can you show your domain policy information? Also show your blueprint construction.

Did you have a look at the customization specs in vCenter?

Create a Customization Specification for Windows

You simply can reference the given name in the blueprint.

Hello Daniele,

i know that. exactly that is the issue. If i use both, the vRA Policy and the vSphere Customization, i ended up with a VM not in the domain.

It was a Active Directory permission issue with the user that was configured in the specification manager
