Looking to prepare a Windows template for use with vRA7? Want to utilize the vRA Guest Agent as well as Software Components? Great! The very talented Gary Coburn has built a package that will it all for you. If you have ever prepped an image for use with vRA 6 or even vRA 7 you know it’s sort of a pain especially if you are like me and don’t like to read the documentation line by line. The first time I prepared a guest I figured ah this is simple I’ll just go and do it. Well that didn’t turn out to well. I had anticipated putting together an article on how to do it when a co-working on my team at VMware Gary Coburn built an awesome script that just does it all for you.
Since Gary published this script it’s all I use at this point. It’s simple and it just works so hopefully it will help you out as well. You can find the script and Gary’s instructions on how to use it on his blog extendingclouds.com. Check it out and enjoy!
