- Using the Property Dictionary
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 2‑4. Custom Properties for Customizing Cloned Machines with a Guest Agent
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.Admin.AddOwnerToAdmins
Set to True (default) to add the machine’s owner, as specified by
the VirtualMachine.Admin.Owner property, to the local
administrators group on the machine.
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 will send 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.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Size Defines the size in GB of disk N. For example, to give a size of
150 GB to a disk G, define the custom property
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size and enter a value of 150. Disk
numbering must be sequential. By default a machine has one
disk referred to by VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size, where size is
specified by the storage value on the blueprint from which the
machine is provisioned. The storage value on the blueprint user
interface overwrites the value in the
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size property. The
VirtualMachine.Disk0.Size property is not available as a
custom property because of its relationship with the storage
option on the blueprint. More disks can be added by specifying
VirtualMachine.Disk1.Size, VirtualMachine.Disk2.Size
and so on. VirtualMachine.Admin.TotalDiskUsage always
represents the total of the .DiskN.Size properties plus the
VMware.Memory.Reservation size allocation.
VirtualMachine.DiskN.Label Specifies the label for a machine’s disk. The disk label maximum
is 32 characters. Disk numbering must be sequential. When
used in conjunction with a guest agent, specifies the label of a
machine's disk N inside the guest operating system.
