Table 1‑4. Custom Properties for Clone Blueprints (Continued)
Custom Property Description
Linux.ExternalScript.Name
Specifies the name of an optional customization script, for
example config.sh, that the Linux guest agent runs after the
operating system is installed. This property is available for Linux
machines cloned from templates on which the Linux agent is
installed.
If you specify an external script, you must also define its location
by using the Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType and
Linux.ExternalScript.Path properties.
Linux.ExternalScript.LocationType
Specifies the location type of the customization script named in
the Linux.ExternalScript.Name property. This can be either
local or nfs.
You must also specify the script location using the
Linux.ExternalScript.Path property. If the location type is
nfs, also use the Linux.ExternalScript.Server property.
Linux.ExternalScript.Server
Specifies the name of the NFS server, for example lab-
ad.lab.local, on which the Linux external customization script
named in Linux.ExternalScript.Name is located.
Linux.ExternalScript.Path
Specifies the local path to the Linux customization script or the
export path to the Linux customization on the NFS server. The
value must begin with a forward slash and not include the file
name, for example /scripts/linux/config.sh.
If your administrators installed the guest agent to run scripts that accept custom properties and customize
provisioned machines, you can use custom properties to further customize cloned machines that use the
guest agent.
Table 1‑5. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.AllowLogin
Set to True (default) to add the machine owner to the local
remote desktop users group, as specified by the
VirtualMachine.Admin.Owner property.
VirtualMachine.Admin.UseGuestAgent
If the guest agent is installed as a service on a template for
cloning, set to True on the machine blueprint to enable the guest
agent service on machines cloned from that template. When the
machine is started, the guest agent service is started. Set to
False to disable the guest agent. If set to False, the enhanced
clone workfow will not use the guest agent for guest operating
system tasks, reducing its functionality to
VMwareCloneWorkflow. If not specified or set to anything other
than False, the enhanced clone workflow sends work items to
the guest agent.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Active
Set to True (default) to specify that the machine's disk N is
active. Set to False to specify that the machine's disk N is not
active.
