Who can tell me where this might be stored?

When you provision a VM the Notes annotation value for the VM is populated with "Provisioned by VMware vRA"  so I would like to change that, anyone know where that command, setting is stored and how to edit it?

Cheers!!

Hey the notes are stored in the database table with "VirtualMachineProperties" with attribute defined as '__Notes' which are tied to the entity ID of the each VM which you can extract it from VirualMachine Table, relating both will get you Notes for the VM individual.

Then you can make a workflow with pull VM entity to write Notes to the VMs under Description.

I had this solution working with vRA 6.2.x not sure if it is still valid for vRA 7.2

Hope this will help you.
