Let us see the steps involved in creating a VConnect template pointing to an existing VM Template in vCenter and customize the VConnect template to make the VM join a domain called 'WAPDEMO.Corp.CloudAssert.com'. \

Step 1: Create a new VConnect Template from the WAP Admin portal by clicking the 'Add' button in 'VM Template' tab

Step 2: Provide the exact name of the template found in vCenter in the TEMPLATE NAME (case sensitive), a friendly display name, description and choose the OS platform as Windows

Step 3: Provide the network and storage hints

Step 4: Configure Windows Customization Settings - Part 1. Enter the domain name you want the VM to join. For Windows 2008 and Windows 7 OS follow this article.

Step 5: Enter domain admin user and password who has permissions to join a computer to the domain

Step 6: Provide other Windows OS Customization Settings shown below. Make sure to uncheck 'Is Configurable by Tenant' when appropriate.

Step 7: Make sure to uncheck 'Is configurable by Tenant' for the 'WorkGroupName' parameter, since this template is going to be used for domain joining the computer.

Edit VConnect Templates:

VConnect template now features a drill down view to edit and configure the customization parameters. Click on a template to drill down to view the parameter settings: Edit and save the parameter values:

You can also add a new custom parameter in a category: This custom parameter will be presented to the tenant user and later can be consumed by the extensibility PowerShell scripts.
