Static hostname on custom specification

$

Hello all,

 

I'm bumping on an issue with custom specification, I'm setting the computer name to be static. When the VM gets deployed in vra, the computer name is initially set to the static value but goes back to a Windows default value, e.g. WIN-3B64PEIQFJL.

 

I've done some customization on the OS, sysprep doesn't seem to like this. Doing the same without the customization works fine.

 

I tried using Hostname property along with EBS, this would result with a VM name with UUID and a static hostname. The problem doing this is we can only deploy a blueprint with the same static hostname one at a time until data collection is done.

 

Ideally what I want to achieve are these:

1. Have a Windows machine prepared for automation(e.g. Autologin, IE settings, shared folders, some applicaitons installed etc).

2. Have a static DNS name when deploying in vRA

 

Appreciate all the help i can get.
