Hello,
Can anyone tell me the steps I need to go through to get vmware_guest to
successfully clone a template and have the clone join an existing domain?
Once the clone comes up, it never seems to have network access, so domain
joining always fails.
A lot of times I have tried the network connection profile is marked as
'public' and isn't given access to the internet.
I need to allocate a static IP
I found some link suggesting you have to use sysprep, but if you do so, you
have to set language, product key etc manually and to be worthwhile the
process needs to be fully automatic. Problems seem to start before that
with the networking.
All suggestions gratefully received!
Tried with ansible 2.3 and 2.4 and two different windows templates, one
created afresh from ISO .
