Example scripts, playbooks, and roles for 'one-click' Windows VM creation from VMWare templates on vSphere.
- Static IP provisioning from an external database (phpIpam)
- Bootstrap with DHCP then sets static on the Windows VM
- Machine rename and domain join to specific OU
- Supports multiple vSphere host with a selectable switch
- Basic software installation via Chocolatey (infinitely expandable)
- Full cleanup deletion process
- Designed with Rundeck in mind as GUI for building the script parameters and execution of the script.
Go through the following files and modify for your environment:
- ./group_vars/general.yml
- (path to Ansible inventory script. This example uses pySser and phpIpam for inventory https://github.com/rendicott/pySser )
- ./group_vars/vsphere.yml
- (credentials to talk to vsphere and clone vms)
- ./group_vars/windows.yml
- (local admin credentials for the windows template)
- ./rundeck-jobscripts/createvm-windows.sh
- (change switch cases for vsphere hosts and IPs to match environment)
- you might have to go through some of the playbooks/roles to track down some variables (sorry)
Then you can
./rundeck-jobscripts/createvm-windows.sh MYMACHINE DOTPL-W12r2S14 vsphere01.contoso.local
To delete the vm you can run
./rundeck-jobscripts/deletevm-windows.sh MYMACHINE vsphere01.contoso.local
