Hi
I want to use the community.vmware.vmware_guest module to set the ‘administrator’ password of a deployed Windows VM.
My environment:
SLES 15 SP5 Docker image
python version = 3.11.3
Ansible Community Package 8.1.0, which includes:
ansible [core 2.15.1]
community.vmware 3.7.0
Here’s my coding of the module:
- name: “Set new administrator account password, then power on the VM”
community.vmware.vmware_guest:
hostname: “{{ management_vcenter_ip }}”
username: “{{ management_vcenter_user }}”
password: “{{ management_vcenter_password }}”
name: “{{ vm_name }}”
state: poweredon
validate_certs: False
wait_for_customization: true
customization:
password: “{{ vm_password }}”
delegate_to: localhost
I know that the module is somewhat working correctly, in that the Windows VM is powered on when this code is executed. But the ‘administrator’ password is not being changed/set.
Here is the execution output:

I looked in https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/issues?page=3&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+vmware_guest, and didn’t see this issue.
Thoughts, please.
Thanks
