Hi Everybody,

I am having this issue while I am running from my Mac where ansible doesn't recognize VMWARE_GUEST modules though they are installed. Any idea why its not able to recognize? I am using OS Monterey 12.1.

Can anyone help how to resolve it?

Unsupported parameters for (vmware_guest) module: customization.autologin, customization.dns_Servers.

looks like you are using the wrong parameters, check docs https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/vmware/vmware_guest_module.html and edit your playbook

there is no autologin param in customization section, only autologon

dns_Servers must be snake_cased like all other params, its case sensitive
