The problem that prompted my other post is related to something I’m seeing occasionally in vCO
I find that sometimes, depending on how fast/slow my vm deployment goes, it seems I get past a wait action (dns name from tools) faster than it should be. For example, the error that I ran into today had clone/sysprep workflow finish and then it went into a sub workflow written by me where where I need to power off the VM. I got an error saying the vm couldn't power down because the tools weren’t running.
Problem is, if I understand the clone workflow correctly, it should not have moved to the next part until the dns name was available from the tools so I don’t understand how my step failed. The only workaround I can think of it put a wait action in there and/or sleep.
Has anyone seen something like this before or am I just special 
Thanks
