Chapter 6 Setting Up Virtual Machine Templates
Disable Guest Customization for a Virtual Machine
Virtual
machines
inherit
their
guest
customization
settings
from
the
virtual
machine
templates
on
which
they
are
based.
You
can
override
these
settings
in
the
properties
of
a
virtual
machine.
To disable guest customization for a virtual machine

In
the
left
pane,
click

Move
the
pointer
over
a
configuration
name
and
select
Open
.

On
the
Virtual
Machines
tab,
move
the
pointer
over
a
virtual
machine
name
and
select
Properties

Customize Guest Customization
Lab Manager
allows
you
to
add
a
customization
script
to
a
virtual
machine
template.
The
script
runs
before
and
after
the
guest
customization
when
you
deploy
a
virtual
machine
based
on
the
virtual
machine
template.
For
example,
the
script
could
check
for
viruses
or
start
and
stop
processes.
The
script
is
called
with
the
precustomization
command
line
parameter
before
the
guest
customization
process
starts
and
is
called
with
the
postcustomization
command
line
after
the
guest
customization
process
has
finished.
To add a customization script to a template
1
In
the
left
pane
of
the
console,
click

the
pointer
over

an
existing
script
or
type
the
script.

a
batch
script
for

guests
and
a
shell
script
for
UNIX
guests.
The
script
can
include
text
and
cannot
include
binary
data.

Click

Importing Virtual Machine Templates from Lab Manager 2.x with VMware Tools
and LM Tools
If
you
import
virtual
machine
templates
from
Lab
Manager
2.x,
the
templates
probably
have
an
older
version
of
VMware Tools,
and
the
enforcement
check
prevents
you
from
publishing
the
virtual
machine
templates.
If
you
cannot
publish
the
templates,
do
one
of
the
following:
Upgrade
VMware Tools
to
the
current
Lab Manager
version.
Upgrading
allows
guest
customization
and
publishing
to
occur.
If
the
virtual
machine
template
has
LM Tools,
disable
the
VMware Tools
enforcement
check,
which
allows
Lab Manager
to
customize
guests
based
on
the
method
used
in
the
previous
version.
See
“Disable
VMware Tools
Check
Before
Publishing
Virtual
Machine
Templates”
on
page 47.
VMware
does
not
recommend
this
approach.
If
the
virtual
machine
template
does
not
have
LM Tools
and
you
do
not
upgrade
VMware Tools,
deselect
the
Perform
Customization
check
box
in
the
virtual
machine
template
properties.
See
“Disabling
Guest
Customization”
on
page 44.
