Script to deploy multiple VMs from a template vsphere/vcenter 5.5
Posted on 2014-02-25
hello,
I was hoping to get assisting in creating a powerCLI script (also open to other methods) to deploy multiple VMs from a template hosted on vCenter 5.5
need the script to perhaps do the following:
- run sysprep
- assign vmhost-name
- assign vmhost-ip
- join vmhost to domain (and the correct OU)
thank you very much

Is Deployment from Template using existing Customizations Specifcations not automated enough, using vCenter Server ?
1. Define your Customization Specifications e.g. Deploy1
Customization specification, will contain, the
vmhost-name
vmhost-ip
join vmhost to domain (and the correct OU)
and Custom Spec will do the Generate new Sid, and Sysprep.
You need to ensure, you create your golden master template
and then, execute the following PowerCLI, with Deploy1 as the spec.

Andrew,
Thank you for your respond. This makes sense, but how would I go about deploying more than one VM from that master template with different IPs and hostnames ?
