      Hello,

      I don't know if this is the correct group to ask, but I'm going to try anyway.
      I have to create Windows 2022 template, a golden image to be able to spin off new Windows VMs from that template.
      How can I automate that process in XO in order to have sysprep + basic configuration to be set up like static IP address, DNS, VM name etc ?
      I've already installed guest tools and cloudbase-init in VM.
      After cloudbase-init was installed it asked me to reboot VM. I haven't done that and I just did a VM shutdown.
      After that I change VM to template and create another VM from it with custom network profile created in XO

      It doesn't work.
      I have no clue how those custom config settings should be set up. Did I installed cloudbase-init correctly ?

      Will it ever be a an option like in vCenter when you just check the box with sysprep and custom settings for VM deployment like in vCenter ?
