Hi all after recently changing over from AWX to AAP and changing from the 
community.VMware collection to VMware.rest collection.
I am running into some issues when deploying I am using the module,
*VMware.vmware_rest.content_library_item_info:*
deploying the VM from a template in the content library,
I am able to deploy the VM from the template without any problems,
using the below playbook.
but the issue I have is the newly deployed VM keeps the name of the,
name of the template the VM was created from and does not change the name 
at guest level,
just changes on the label of the VM.


---
- name: Deploy a VM from a library "Linux_Templates"
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: yes

  vars:
    hostname: "{{ lookup('env', 'VMWARE_HOST') }}"                 # 
vCenter Server hostname or IP address
    username: "{{ lookup('env', 'VMWARE_USER') }}"                 # 
vCenter Server username
    password: "{{ lookup('env', 'VMWARE_PASSWORD') }}"             # 
vCenter Server password
    vm_name: "{{new_name}}"                                        # Name 
to give to the new VM
    esxi_hostname: "esx node name"                      #ESX node name 
    datastore: "datastore name"                                          #

    cluster_ID: "cluster name"                                       #

    folder_path: "folder path name"                                   # 
Name of the folder to place the new VM in
    content_library: "content library id"
    library_item: "item id"
    AD_Domain: "domain name"                                       # Domain 
name
    AD_Domain_alt: "alt domain name"                                   # 
Alternative domain name
    sudo_users: "{{sudo_user_add}}"                                # Sudo 
users to add to vm


  tasks:

    - name: get the list of items of the NFS library
      vmware.vmware_rest.content_library_item_info:
        vcenter_hostname: "{{hostname}}"
        vcenter_username: "{{username}}"
vcenter_password: "{{password}}"
        library_id: "{{content_library}}"
        library_item_id: "{{library_item}}"
      register: content_library_result
    
    - name: Create a new VM based on the template
      vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_vmtemplate_libraryitems:
        vcenter_hostname: "{{hostname}}"
        vcenter_username: "{{username}}"
vcenter_password: "{{password}}"
        name: "{{vm_name}}"
        vcenter_validate_certs: false
        library: "{{content_library}}"
        template_library_item: "{{library_item}}"   
        placement: 
          cluster: "{{cluster_ID}}"
          folder:  "{{folder_path}}"
          #resource_pool:  "{{ 
lookup('vmware.vmware_rest.resource_pool_moid', 
'/my_dc/host/my_cluster/Resources')}}"
        state: deploy
        powered_on: True
      register: my_new_vm

    - name: Pause for 1 minutes for server to boot up
      ansible.builtin.pause:
        seconds: 30

also when using the community collection i was able to just also add a task 
you use bash shell,
after VM was deployed in the same playbook like below 
- name: "Join the VM to the Domain"
      shell: |  
         timeout 60s echo '{{vcenter_password}}' | sudo realm join 
--verbose exsample.COM -U 'user' --install=/ any help would be appreciated 
here 

thanks
Shane
