How do I modify virtual machine properties using a Automation Orchestrator workflow subscription

You can use an existing Automation Orchestrator workflow to modify virtual machine properties and add virtual machines to the active directory.

The event topic parameters define the format of the payload for Event Broker Service (EBS) messages. To receive and use EBS message payload inside a workflow, you must define the inputProperties workflow input parameters.

Prerequisites

• Cloud administrator user role
• Existing Automation Orchestrator on-premises workflows.
• Successful integration and connection to the Automation Orchestrator client server.

2. Click New Subscription.
3. Create a subscription with the following parameters:

   Action/workflow	Select a Automation Orchestrator runnable type. Select the desired workflow. For example, Set VM name.

4. To save your subscription, click Save.
5. Assign and activate your subscription by creating a cloud template or deploying an existing cloud template.
