Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

Hi all

(Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

TIA

=============================================

OK, I myself fixed the end.

I created a new customization file with exactly the same settings as the old file, and it worked. I can only assume that the old customization file has been altered somehow.
