HH:MM:SS format. If the value is not set, the
default value is one minute (00:01:00). If you

before guest agent work items are completed,
causing provisioning to fail.

VirtualMachine.Admin.Name
Specifies the generated machine name for
vSphere, for example CodyVM01. When creating
custom workflows or plug-ins for customizing a
virtual machine name, set this property to match
the name of the virtual machine. This is an
internal input property for the agent to name the
virtual machine.
Note This property is for vSphere only.
The value specified in the blueprint has no effect
on this property. This property is not intended to
be used to prompt the user. Use the HostName
property to prompt the user. If the property is set
at runtime, the container name that is created in
the hypervisor might not match the item record
name.
VirtualMachine.Admin.UUID
Specifies the UUID of the machine. The value is
recorded by the guest agent when the machine is
created, then it becomes read-only. The value in
the blueprint or property group has no effect on
this property.
