Custom Properties for vApp Blueprints
You can add certain vRealize Automation custom properties to a vApp or vApp component blueprint or
property group to allow a vApp machine to join an Active Directory domain.
The Active Directory domain is supported for Windows machines. If the vApp machine contains Linux and
Windows component machines, use a property group to assign custom properties to the vApp component
blueprint associated with the Windows machines.
