How do I use an unattend.xml file?

[RyanD0001]

Hi,

when I try to use guest_customization_sysprep in my tf file i get

**'Error: Incorrect attribute value type

on Main-test.tf line 15, in resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "TF-win19":
15: guest_customization_sysprep = "${base64encode(file("unattend.xml"))}"

Inappropriate value for attribute "guest_customization_sysprep": map of string
required.'**

What am I doing wrong?

this is my tf file:

resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "TF-win19" {

cluster_uuid = "00053994-c593-946e-6219-246e961bb700"
name = "tf-testwin"
description = "created with terraform"
num_vcpus_per_socket = 1
num_sockets = 1
memory_size_mib = 4096
guest_customization_sysprep = "${base64encode(file("unattend.xml"))}"

nic_list {
# subnet_reference is saying, which VLAN/network do you want to attach here?
subnet_uuid = "740da7c1-7278-403d-b362-b5204cd55d3a"
}

disk_list {

data_source_reference = {
kind = "image"
uuid = "07c25fe9-2f3a-4ed3-97e7-b0d1268bc3ab"
}

}

Thanks,

Ryan

Try adding this data block above the resource.

data "template_file" "init" {
  template = "${file("unattend.xml")}"
}

Then set the guest_customization_sysprep value to the below.

guest_customization_sysprep = {
          unattend_xml = "${base64encode("${element(data.template_file.init.*.rendered, count.index)}")}"

Hi,

Do you have a fully working example that you can share?

Thanks,
