vCloud Automation Center – vCAC 5.1 – Using Custom Properties

  • Cost.Center – This is not a reserved custom property, it’s one we are going to make up to attach a cost center to the machine request.

In my example I’m going to remove the machine record, however you can also configure it to move the machine to a specific OU and not delete it’s record.
