Hi Jithin, Thanks for the info!
It's strange, I followed every single step of the template creation guide, but I still can't figure out why the IPs aren't being pulled. I can confirm that the VMs receive an IP as soon as they boot. The logs have so far not shown anything, and I don't know what I'd grep for to look for that specific an error. Any further assistance you can provide would be appreciated!

I’ve never used the guestfish command, but from the sample command it looks like this would have to be run manually for every guest VM. Is there a way to automate this?
