Is it possible to deploy pre-built labs that are already configured as a fully functional Microsoft Active Directory domain using components of the vCloud Suite? If so, which components are required and how is this accomplished? The only choices that the consumers of the labs need to make is which individual types of servers they want installed in the lab. By default everyone gets a domain controller, but I want it to be customizable so they can also choose to have, or not to have, Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Web (IIS), etc... I was originally thinking of just building all of the servers as VMs on a domain and then shutting them down and cloning them all to templates and adding those templates into VCAC and letting users select what they needed from the catalog using those templates. It seems pretty straight forward, but then I stumbled across vCloud Application Director and saw how you can piece together an application using an OS template, application software, and a "run book". This way you can modularize the deployment or applications. What I'm not sure of is if you can deploy full blown operating systems with VCAD or if it's just application stacks only. Can anyone provide some clarity on this?
Thanks in advance.
