How to assign IP in Windows

[VPSCO]

Hi
I want to change windows server (2003 - 2008 - 2012 ) IP address
I use VIJava 5.5b and Vcenter 5.5 (on windows)
i use CustomizationSysprep to change IP address according to this
topic : https://sourceforge.net/p/vijava/discussion/826592/thread/5d6ff04c
java code that I use is :

---

                      java code

---

public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{

    CustomizationSysprep sprep = new CustomizationSysprep();
    CustomizationSpec cspec = new CustomizationSpec();

    CustomizationGlobalIPSettings gIP = new CustomizationGlobalIPSettings();
    cspec.setGlobalIPSettings(gIP);

    //SetIP
    CustomizationFixedIp fixedIp = new CustomizationFixedIp();
    fixedIp.setIpAddress(ip);

    CustomizationIPSettings adapter = new CustomizationIPSettings();
    adapter.setDnsServerList(dns);
    adapter.setGateway(gateway);
    adapter.setIp(fixedIp);
    adapter.setSubnetMask(netmask);
    CustomizationAdapterMapping adaptorMap = new CustomizationAdapterMapping();
    adaptorMap.setAdapter(adapter);
    CustomizationAdapterMapping[] nicSettingMap = new CustomizationAdapterMapping[]{adaptorMap};
    cspec.setNicSettingMap(nicSettingMap);

    //GuiUnattended
    CustomizationGuiUnattended guiUnattended = new CustomizationGuiUnattended();
    guiUnattended.setAutoLogon(true);
    guiUnattended.setAutoLogonCount(10);
    CustomizationPassword pass = new CustomizationPassword();
    pass.setPlainText(true);
    pass.setValue("Vpsco1256#");
    guiUnattended.setPassword(pass);
    sprep.setGuiUnattended(guiUnattended);

    //set License
    CustomizationLicenseFilePrintData licenseFilePrintData ;
    licenseFilePrintData = new CustomizationLicenseFilePrintData();
    licenseFilePrintData.setAutoMode(CustomizationLicenseDataMode.perSeat);
    licenseFilePrintData.setAutoUsers(5);
    sprep.setLicenseFilePrintData(licenseFilePrintData);

    cspec.setIdentity(sprep);

    ServiceInstance si = new ServiceInstance(URL, user , pass, true);
    Folder rootFolder = si.getRootFolder();
    VirtualMachine vm  = (VirtualMachine) new InventoryNavigator(rootFolder).searchManagedEntity("VirtualMachine", vmname);
    vm.customizeVM_Task(cspec);

-----------------------------------------------------------------

but i got this error when I run this code

---

                     Error

---

Exception in thread "main" java.rmi.RemoteException: VI SDK invoke exception:com.vmware.vim25.InvalidRequest
at com.vmware.vim25.ws.WSClient.invoke(WSClient.java:122)

at com.vmware.vim25.mo.VirtualMachine.customizeVM_Task(VirtualMachine.java:256)

---

and I try :

CustomizationIdentitySettings identity = new CustomizationIdentitySettings();
cspec.setIdentity(identity);

instead of cspec.setIdentity(sprep);

it dont give error but it give error in Vmware Vsphere task Viewer :

A specified parameter was not correct. spec.identity

I just want to change only (IP address , Netmask , Gateway , Dns) not anything else like host name or computer name or etc ...

Best regards
Tank you for helping

I don't have access to my sourcecode repo right now... but at first glance..

Isn't CustomizationSysprep() object for Windows systems and CustomizationLinuxPrep() linux/unix?

very useful reference for this kinda thing:
