Login and check network settings. This should be the IP address and network information you provided
during the cloning process. You computer name should be set to the “VM name”.
The final customization steps occur when the new virtual machine boots for the first time. After powering on
for the first time, a customized Windows virtual machine automatically reboots twice to finalize the
configuration process. It becomes operational when the OS logon page appears after the second reboot.
This process can take several minutes, depending on the speed and load of the host. If any errors occur
during the final configuration process, events are logged to the guest operating system’s event database. To
view these errors, choose Start > Program > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer from the Windows Start
menu.
If any of the information required in the configuration finalization process is not correct, the guest operating
system pauses when the new virtual machine boots and waits for you to enter the correct information.
Incorrect information might include computer name, product key, domain name, network (DHCP) settings
etc.

BEA WLS nodes.
Click on the BEA WLS virtual machine template (BEAVM_Template), select “deploy a new virtual machine
from this template”. We will deploy a second WLS node (BEAVM2) using the custom specifications.
