Rebuilt View Composer Database... a few issues with View Connection Server

[Cannoli]

I had to revert to a previous snapshot on my SQL database server which was just before I installed the database for View Composer.  In View Connection server, there is a pool for linked clones.  How do I remove the pool?  When I try to delete it I receive an error which I don't remember off hand but basically it has to do with the fact View Connection Server can't find the pool in the database.  Any ideas?

You will have to end up removing it through the View ADAM database.

Is that with the vdmadmin command line tool?  If so, what is the proper syntax to delete a pool?  I will have to recerate it through the gui when I'm done.

You would need to connect through  ADSI Edit.    Check out this KB for instructions on how to remove stale desktops and clones, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008658.   This should give you some insight on how to connect to the ADAM database and navigate it.

1. Delete the stale entries from ADAM. As Mittim pointed out, refer the KB: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008658

2. Manually delete VMs/Clones from VC

3. Create a DB for View Composer

4. Re-install Composer.
