Hello Mike, thanks for the tutorial. I have 2 issues:
1. I have created a windows template, agents installed. But it doesn't get displayed under templates while selecting clone source.
2. When the VM is provisioned from one of the templates, even though I use network profile, I see dynamic IP from DHCP. The network profile has the IP range defined. From the Network profile, I can see the IP being used. But in the newly provisioned VM I see dynamic IP. Is it because of the template? When I created a template, by default the IP was from DHCP and I had to set a static IP to gain access to my network to configure the Agent while preparing the VM template. After the preparation was done, I manually changed the IP to dynamic.

I see the exact same IP from DHCP on all newly provisioned VMs from the blueprint. How do I overcome this issue?
