[Users] set computername and domain when vm is created from template.
i'm needing to change the computer name to something based on the vm's name or something and add the system to an active directory domain. this needs to be done when i create new vm's from a template. any suggestions? from what i'm reading, cloud-init is what i'm needing to use, i installed and ran it to check it out. it changed the computer name, but i can't find where to specify the computer name value or how to set domain info. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I think cloudinit is used for linux and sysprep is used for windows. There is a new project that has 'ported' cloudinit to windows. Google it. That still leaves you with the problem to generate unique machine names and other unique stuff per machine. Maybe cloudinit,sysprep will do that automatically? I don't know that.
