Extract vRA PowerShell script from appliance for these files:

curl.exe
openssl.exe
prepare_vra_template.bat
prepare_vra_template.ps1

Also need LGPO.exe for WSUS policy configurations

Edit PowerShell Script

To get the PowerShell script to properly submit using Darwin's user-name and password modify these lines in prepare_vra_template.ps1

Line: 549 From

if ($NonInteractive)

to

if ($NonInteractive -and !$SoftwarePassword)

The add a second Else statement in betweenthe else around line: 553

elseif($SoftwarePassword)
{
    $SecurePassword = $SoftwarePassword | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
    $SoftwarePassword = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($SecurePassword))
}

By doing this, you can now use the parameters at the very top of the script in non-interactive mode.

eg: PowerShell.exe -noprofile -executionPolicy bypass -file "prepare_vra_template.ps1" -ApplianceHost vra-app.contoso.com -ManagerServiceHost vra-mgr.contoso.com -CloudProvider vSphere -SoftwareDomainUser .\Darwin -SoftwarePassword DarwinPassword -ManagerFingerprint "D4:2D:C5:BB:96:F0:A2:E1:69:96:12:C1:63:11:73:9B:FA:33:14:F4" -ApplianceFingerprint "D4:2D:C5:BB:96:F0:A2:E1:69:96:12:C1:63:11:73:9B:FA:33:14:F4" -Noninteractive -NoWindowsCheck
