Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

Provisioning fails in vRA with the following error :

Provisioning operation failed. Cannot customize network interface on compute without required domain setting for the network [<NetworkName>]. To fix the customization issue, specify a domain name for the network.

To not apply the customization spec, set the customizeGuestOs property to false in the machine component in the blueprint.
