Nope it's unreliable. Ran it a few more times, it completely worked a couple times, then the 3rd time it worked on the first VM and failed on the 2nd VM because the network was unavailable. So with open vmtools it doesn't even change the guest network settings. With native vmtools it changes all the guest network settings, but roughly 75% of the time the IP is unreachable unless I "jump start" it by consoling into the guest and initiate some kind of traffic from the VM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it. I haven't tried it but I don't think autologon applies since I'm deploying Linux VMs. In the Ansible documentation autologon is under the section "Parameters related to Windows customization:" For a while I was using delegate_to: localhost but I removed it because after reading the documentation it seemed to me that delegate_to is basically an override for the hosts: parameter and since I'm already running the VM tasks with hosts: localhost I didn't think I needed it (maybe I misunderstood the documentation?). At any rate, I still had the problem when I was using delegate_to: localhost. The REALLY weird thing is, it's working now. I've ran this playbook dozens of times against this template and had the problem. I created a VM from the template, installed tcpdump, and converted it to a new template. Pointed the playbook to it and it worked. Thinking maybe tcpdump somehow modified the network stack I pointed my playbook back to the original CentOS 8 template (without tcpdump) and it's still working. Now I'm confused. We'll see how reliable it is.

If i can remember Correctly: I had the Same issue with Static IP not taken affect, as my AutoLogin wasn't working, Once i fixed the Password on the template, Static IP Address were taken effect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

configure the Static IP
customization:
hostname: "{{ VM_Name }}"
dns_servers:
-
dns_suffix:
-
domain: "{{ domain }}"
autologon: yes
password: "{{ local_pass }}"
runonce:
-
But i also see you don't have delegate_to: localhost
