  • only apply when the datacenter doesn't configure the DHCP remote service AND the vdc is not using a NSX device.
    • if unattendfile != false, configure will print this WARN : "DHCP not enabled, configure fixed IP mapping on windows requires 'com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.customize.win.unattendfile=false'"
  • no dnsSufix configured at IP level, its only defined globally in the unattend file. Its the host fqdn without the hostname part.
  • when not unattend.xml there are some things that are not longer possible to customize:
    • netBios always disabled
    • no dns domain at vnic level only gloabaly, but dns servers for each vnic, not globaly
    • no OOBE specific configuration (in unattend.xml by default it sets SkipMachineOOBE / HideEULAPage / SkipUserOOBE / ProtectYourPC)
    • no autologon - when no password specified then always autologon
    • timezone is another system property.
    • always join working group WORKGROUP (same as default in unattend) - no user/pass - no joindomain
    • no LicenseFilePrintData
    • no initial commands executed
    • no windows key (setting user name and org name but no effect without key)
  • when removing nics (win or linux) the customization is not applied, so virtualNic removed but the bindings still present (OS should handle this)
  • No labels
