Currently on ansible version 2.10.6 with the latest
vmware.commumity.vmware_guest package and dependcies. I am trying to deploy a
windows server from template using the following playbook. The issue I have is
when the server powers up for the first time it stops at a blues prompt screen
with the three choices of continue, troubleshoot and shutdown. Not sure how to
get around this.
I also have a question in regards to the deployment. In vsphere we have a
number of custumization templates that we push on to the vm after it is
deployed. How can I utilize that customization with the playbook? There is
the wait_for_customization parameter but there is no place to identify the
custom template we want utilize.
Thanks.
