Extending the LM Tools Script
Review the instructions to extend the customization of the LM Tools script.
Extending the LM Tools Script on a Windows Guest OS
The Windows script, win_autoconfig.vbs, is installed in the LM Tools program files
folder (usually C:\Program Files\VMware\LM Tools). Write your own script based
on win_autoconfig.vbs, and perform the required customization using the settings
passed to the Lab Manager Server system.
Extending the LM Tools Script on a Linux Guest OS
The Linux script is lm-tools. Write your own script, based on lm-tools, and perform
the required customization using the settings passed to the Lab Manager Server system.
You can also change the .vmx file of a virtual machine (for example, change the
computerName value) and have lm-tools apply those changes either when the guest
operating system restarts or when you run the lm-tools script.
To run the lm-tools script on SUSE Linux, type:
/etc/rc.d/lm-tools start
To run the lm-tools script on RHEL, type:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lm-tools start
