Customization uses Perl and vmware_tools. Please check if those packages are available and installed to the latest version. Also, check if VMware tools version is compatible with your OS version and Vcenter version. Try openvm tools as well if native VMware tools do not work. There is one log file that logs the customization process log (I forgot the name of that file but you can search find it in Vmware docs). you can check that file for the possible error. Try recreating the template.
