About the vmnot being created as connected

Terraform Providers VMware
1

hello,
i use vsphere 2.11 module on my terraform server and it was integrated with vcenter version 8.0 for vm create processes.
when I create windows vm, it does not create as nic connected.
while preparing the template i marked nic connected in vcenter and i marked “Connect At Power On” option.
I installed latest vmtools to template.
i ran sysprep in with generalize option.
but still the vm was not created as connected. can anyone help? :folded_hands:

here is my config files;
