A guest Customization Specification enables you to customize virtual desktops as you clone them from a template. You must create a guest Customization Specification from within VMware VirtualCenter.
Within your VirtualCenter, simply use the Customization Specification wizard to specify details such as virtual machine name, license key, domain to be joined, etc. This Customization Specification uses the Microsoft Sysprep files from the
deploy.cab file on your Windows install media, which you place on your VirtualCenter server to give DVMs a unique
SID and to prepare them for use in your environment.
Once the sysprep files are on your VirtualCenter server and you have configured your Customization Specification, simply tell your Pano Manager two things: (1) the name of the Customization Specification to use, and (2) number of DVMs you'd like to always have available.
The names of DVMs that VirtualCenter creates must match the names of virtual machine names. The name of the DVM is defined in the DVM collection specification in the Pano Manager.
For example, if the DVMs are for employees in your Technical Support department, in the Pano Manager you can specify
Support as the name of the DVM collection. Pano Manager works with VirtualCenter to create DVMs named
Support-1,
Support-2,
Support-3, etc.
