How to find which CustomizationSpec is used on the deployed machine?

[mayank_goyal]

Is there a good way to find the customizationSpec used during the provisioning of a VM from vRA or in the vSphere?

Probably I was silly not seeing it.

It's there in custom Properties.

var custSpec = customProperties.customizationSpec;

I have created a solution for this in TypeScript using the Aria Build Tools

https://github.com/vmware/build-tools-for-vmware-aria

    public VcVirtualMachineGetVcCustomizationSpecItem(@notNull @notEmpty @required objVcVirtualMachine: VcVirtualMachine, @notNull @notEmpty @required strVcCustomizationSpecName: string): VcCustomizationSpecItem {
        this.objLogger.info(`Trying to get custom spec item by name ${strVcCustomizationSpecName}.`);

        let objVcSdkConnection: VcSdkConnection = objVcVirtualMachine.sdkConnection;

        let objVcCustomizationSpecManager: VcCustomizationSpecManager = objVcSdkConnection.customizationSpecManager;

        let objVcCustomizationSpecItem: VcCustomizationSpecItem = objVcCustomizationSpecManager.getCustomizationSpec(strVcCustomizationSpecName);

        if (objVcCustomizationSpecItem) {
            this.objLogger.info(`Customization Spec Item ${strVcCustomizationSpecName} found.`);
        }
        else {
            this.objLogger.warn(`Customization Spec Item ${strVcCustomizationSpecName} not found.`);
        }

        return objVcCustomizationSpecItem;
    }
