Configure abiquo properties for static IP injection Windows

To configure guest setup to use static IP addresses when DCHP is not available, do these steps.

To ignore the unattend file, on the Remote Services server and on the API Server, edit the abiquo.properties files and set this property to "false".

Optionally configure the time zone, which can be per datacenter. To get your time zone codes, see https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Orchestrator/5.5.2/com.vmware.vsphere.vco_use_plugins.doc/GUID-83EBD74D-B5EC-4A0A-B54E-8E45BE2928C2.html
On the Remote Services server, edit the abiquo.properties file, and add the timezone property. The default is 110, which is "Western Europe Standard Time".

To require users to enter the correct VM password when adding a NIC to a deployed VM, set a value greater than 0 for the password wait timeout, on the Remote Services server, edit the abiquo.properties file. The recommended value of 900000 milliseconds is 15 minutes.

If the user enters an incorrect password, the reconfigure will fail and the CMP will roll back the changes to the VM.

The default value of 0 means the platform will not check the password. It will set the password entered by the user as the new administrator password.

You can also change the default time to wait between checks to determine if guest tools has applied the new password

You can also ensure the operating system has time to start up and run guest tools.
