From the archive. Originally published on dailyhypervisor.com on April 23, 2013.

POTD #5 Clone Spec vCAC version: 5.1  Property Name   CloneSpec Property Description   This allows you to override the Customization Specification that is defined in the Blueprint.   Property Usage   I typically define this at either the Build Profile or Provisioning Group. It can be very useful if you need to use a different customization specification. An example would be a blueprint with a standard customization specification, but if assign a build profile that uses the guest agent I like to override the customization specification in the build profile to use one that installs the guest agent.   Usage: PropertyNme = CloneSpec    Property value = NameOfCustomizationSpecification   Recommended Placement Build Profile or Provisioning Group
