Dear Friend,
You can remove waitforip because you are not giving network ip .. atleast
as per your playbook shown. Instead, you can mention waitforcustomization
as true....!!
Also, you are not mentioning network ip address/subnet/gateway details...
How is it supposed to contact the domain controller ?
Must make sure VMware tools are installed and not corrupted on the template
from which You are deploying vm.
Also, give password directive in customisation section for the vm. This
will be your vm administrator password.
If I may ask... What's the OS version in template ?? 2008r2/2012/2012r2 etc
??
Thanks,
Piyush
