Description

Computer Name

Name of the VM that is used for network access. The name:

  • Can be a maximum of 15 characters. 
  • Can be a combination of letters, numbers, and dashes. 
  • Cannot consist exclusively of numbers.

This option is only available if the VGP has the Customize OS option enabled (under Guest Operating System on the VMware - Config panel).

Auto-generate

Indicates the system can automatically generate a name for the VM when it is provisioned.

This option is only available if the VGP has the Customize OS option enabled (under Guest Operating System on the VMware - Config panel).

Default DNS Suffixes

A comma-separated list of Domain Name System (DNS) suffixes to use if the VM being provisioned is accessing a particular DNS. The DNS suffix is used in DNS name registration and DNS name resolution. If the VGP is configured so the VM should obtain a DNS automatically, this option is disabled.

Workgroup

Select to indicate the VM should be part of a workgroup. Then enter the name of the workgroup in the text box below. A workgroup is a group of computers with the same workgroup name.

Windows Server Domain

Select to indicate the VM should be part of a Windows domain. Then enter the name of domain in the text box below.

Create a computer account in the domain

If you selected Windows Server Domain, check this option to create an account for the VM in the Windows domain. If you do not select this option, and you are adding the VM to a domain, an account for the VM must already be defined in the VM. If you select this option, you must also provide a user name and password for the account that will be created.

User Name

User name for the account you are creating in the Windows domain.

Password

Password for the account you are creating in the Windows domain.
