Can't find snapshot when building linked clone desktop.

[sheph003]

I'm trying to build an automated non-persistent desktopool using a linked clone. It finds the parent VM, but in the next step it doesn't find the snapshot to used as the image. The VM machine has a snapshot on it.

The master VM is powered-off?

And also the snap has build with the VM powered-off?

Thanks..that worked.

Now there is nothing in the dropdown box to select the QuickPrep domain. Help.

Did you put in an accound in your vCenter configuration?

Sorry..I'm still new to this. QuickPrep domain??

[Linjo]

In the View Manager you need to configure the quickprep domain.

Go to the configuration page, mark your vcenter-server and select edit.

Put in your vCenter Administrator information and check "Enable View Composer"

In the field below add the user that have rights to join the machines to the domain.
