vCD customization

If you want to customize your installation of vCD and make it to integrate with other components, what language would typically be in? What language is more from vCD? Java? JavaScript? .net?

We offer two software development kits. As Java/Python/.NET (I think that we always offer those), and PowerCLI a vCloud extensions in it.

However, you can use any REST based customer to integrate at the level of the API... it would require a bit more coding.

The best person to ask is in the forums of developer here: SDK: vSphere SDK, SDK, SDK - Developer Center VMware vCloud vCenter

CentOS 7 comments customization with vCD 5.5.2 does not

Customization of VCD comments fail to finish before vmtools restarts the server

Hi all
You are looking for assistance. I'm trying to run a script powershell to the customization post. This script works fine if run independently. The question I see newspapers is vmware tools marks the complete script once past the initiates a reboot of the system. This obviously prevents my powershell to finish. The script is copy the files to the client to then proceed with an installation.
So my question is that nobody knows how to stop either vmtools to initiate the restart until the end of my script or how to tell my script to stop the vmtools start resetting. I still want the tools at the end, but not until my script is done.
I tried to add various command to the script with no joy, I think it's because vmtools run command shell of power and esteem/marks it complete and moves independently of what happens. This is for servers Windows 2008 R2 and im using VCD 5.1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Paul,.

Based on the newspaper it seems to me that you actually run VCD 1.5 (not 5.1). Could you tell me the Version/Build date help > about? If this is the case and you can't find a way to run your script synchronously, or the timeout of 100 seconds is not enough, I recommend you to run your commands by planning a separate Windows task runs after reboot (this is how we do it in VCD 5.1.x):

\\system32\\schtasks.exe / create /sc ONSTART $ more HIGH/np/z v1 /ru SYSTEM /tr 'order' /tn "my tasks".

Remember that you may need to remove it later, because Windows often fails to do so, even if the arguments instruct to do.

vCD VM event customization?

Hi all
in vCenter there are events for the Customaztion
- VMware.Vim.CustomizationStartedEvent
- VMware.Vim.CustomizationSucceeded
- VMware.Vim.CustomizationFailed
- VMware.Vim.VmStartingEvent
And that works very well for virtual machines created with GuestCustmization by VC. These node does NOT raise when vCD creates the VM and providesthe comments customization.
II looked thought the REST and (GUI) newspapers and I can't find any event that captures if GuestCustomization staretd or ended (and even less has failed).
Do I missed something or nobody does still thought to include this vCD in.

The solution is that vCD uses the ESXi plugin to push personalization of comments. So that the event can not get to vCenter. The only good answer to the problem is to have the virtual machine send an email and then create a poll on this control for the email... or a HTTPS post and then a poll on this... D

Unable to join the domain using customization comments vCD

I have vCloud Director installed and running. I created a vApp and edited the properties to allow customization of comments and more everything works so far but the computer will not join the domain. I tried to use organization customization, as well as customize the TIME after deployment. As soon as the server ends with the customization and is powered, I can log in and join the domain manually without any problem, I can't get comments customization to do that for me. Its a Windows 2008 R2 server. I found this entry at the end of the journal to customize-comments on the server:
run the command netsh interface ip set dns 12 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx static (it has the correct address for my DNS server) =
The command has been successfully run, the output of the command:
The configured DNS server is incorrect or does not exist
Any thoughts?

It is a farily well known problem. For a join of field works in vCloud Director, you must have on your DHCP subnet. Many people make using the vShield edge device that is located on the network of the Org. The sysprep process runs before tools VMware is running (which applies to the satic IP address to the client). It's sort of a situation or hen that the guest has ip when in sysprep, so the easy solution to make it work is DHCP. Conversely, people did it is in port, a lab post script custization in vCD Manager who entered the field after the sysprep is made completely and the guest it's static IP. Frankly, it's something of the order of operations that is causing the problem. We are looking at this for other clients, but at the moment, what your options are

(1) add DHCP to the subnet by using your own server DHCP OR vShield Edge

(2) add a PostScript of customization to join the domain, it can be inserted into the comments thus customizaion area.

Hope this helps you stop banging their heads on the wall

Guest OS script customization help.

Hello
I am trying to run a script in a virtual machine after deploying a paralytic. The script sets the automatic logon to activate because we need this function to perform certain other actions before joining the domain.
I activated the VM Guest OS customization VAPP ("customization of activate ', 'Change SID', 'Password Reset'") and I used William Lams script provided here, http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/06/using-a-guest-customization-script-to-tell-when-vappvm-is-ready-in-vcloud-director.html in the section of script Guest OS customization as a base.
I have tried both:
off @echo
If '%1% ' == 'precustomization' (echo of the tasks precustomization) otherwise if '%1% ' == 'postcustomization' (c:\script\script.bat)
and
off @echo
If '%1% ' is "precustomization" (echo of precustomization task) if '%1% ' is 'postcustomization' (cmd/c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" AutoAdminLogon t REG_SZ/d '1' f v)
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" DefaultUserName t REG_SZ/d 'Administrator' f v
cmd/d reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" v DefaultDomainName t REG_SZ/d 'localhost' f
Shutdown r)
The first example points to a file, c:\script\script.bat, locally on the virtual machine. If I use Williams script without changing the vm-is-ready file is created.
The customscript.bat is created in a folder under C:\Windows\Temp\ on of Windows virtual machine with the content as described above, but it seems that it is never executed
Any help appreciated.
Thank you

We that debogues in offline mode, so just to sum up the results so far:

Theory:

There are several things here.

One is on unattend.xml required by sysprep. The way in which it is used is the following:

-VCD uses the ' basic' version of guestcustomization/windows/unattend.xml

-obtained set cached in guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sidgen.cab on the first request to customize Vista + or any other virtual Windows computer in case "change SID is false."

d ' after the above, I believe that it is possible to use the unattend.xml file "basic" to "extend" VCD offer out-of-the-box. Remember that any time that you do this, you must manually backup or remove guestcustomization/windows_deployment_package_sidgen.cab. Then the system takes care of regenerate automatically using the most recent version of the unattend.xml file

-I think that this is not the right way to go in this particular case. This approach would severely limit flexibility due to the need to specify a password for automatic logon. So, you would have to live with a hard-coded pass which is very precarious. But it works very well for 'static' things like "company name".

-I think change unattend.xml inside the virtual machine (probably see you \Windows\Panther) is not going to work somehow. I don't know exactly the purpose of this file, but I think that it is generated by sysprep itself during its work

-I work on improvements for the next version and followed bug add this feature. Basically I dynamically update unattend.xml based on the password set in VCD

The other is about performance after customization. The way it works now (for the case of "change SID is true") is that we rely on the Windows Task Scheduler. Basically plan us customization after execution of the script to run after reboot to the very last point inside the sysprep mini-setup phase. If the warning you see is probably the Scheduler and I think it's harmless. It also means that after customization will be the last thing that is performed on your virtual machine. So not sysprep after that and I don't expect anything to delete your registry values or either reboot.

Now, I suspect that these keys are not simply added because of a problem with the keys themselves or (as you well pointed out) this could be the permissions problem.

Practice:

We went with the first approach, which is a good enough compromise for this particular client:

0) be careful with the update of file system of the cell while signed in as 'root' ssh, because most of the files (if not all) is the property of vcloud:vcloud

(1) to add:
