vSphere : 7.0.3.01400

I run a powercli to clone a template.
the clone builds,

reboots

it waits some time logged in as the admin : I check hostname: it is named after the template host name

reboots

looks something like sysprep...

check hostname : random letters and numbers

Correct hostname is not supplied

Name and target OS

Rename OS

Generate SID

RunOnce Script

Target OS

Windows

Computer name

Use the virtual machine name

Admin Pass
