Linked clones don't recompose correctly.

[eugpol]

I made some minor changes to the parent VM and recomposed the pool.  However the machines in the pool don't reflect the changes I made.  What is the problem? THX.

Can you confirm that you created a new snapshot after applying the changes, and selected that snapshot for the recomposing.

Yes, I did take a new snapshot and selected it.

When you selected the recompose option did you notice the replica and clones being built in vCenter?

I found smth.  I probably misled you statig that clones did not recompose properly.  I created the image using admin account.  When I connect login with admin account I see everything correctly.  Whae I login using another account I do not see changes. It has something to do with profiles.  How can I force the same profile for all users?

[eugpol]

Please disregard the post.  Recomposing is correct. When I add shortcuts to the desktop of the parent machine I do that under admin profile.  I have to copy thuem to the default profile because user logging into the pool get bthe default profile.

If shortcuts is all your dealing with, all you need to do is copy them to c:\Users\Public\Desktop.  It's a hidden folder so just browse there by typing it in the address bar.
