23.2 Pre-Populated Template Settings

When a Windows-based workload is created from a template, certain Windows settings, such as the computer name, the domain or workgroup, and the Windows product key, must be supplied. Likewise, when a Linux-based workload is created from a template, certain Linux settings, such as the host name, must be supplied.

If there are settings that will be the same for all workloads created from a template, you can pre-populate those settings. For example, if you want all Windows workloads to use the same password for the local Administrator account, you can provide that password in the template.

Any settings that you do not pre-populate must be filled in when requesting a new business service (by the Business Service Owner) or when performing the pre-build configuration (by a Cloud Administrator or a Build Administrator).
