Recompose Failed - Regenerate Disposable Disk

[smithjr]

hi all, I'm having issues with View 5.1 with linked clones. When executing the recompose task this fails stating that can't find the disposable disk. I searched withall the ESX and this disposable file doesn't exist any more. Is there a possibility to regenerate this file because the VM can't power on. I erased manually the disposible disk from the VM settings and now the VM is turned on but with some errors. I need to regenerate the disposable disk. Any ideas?

Thanks All.

What if you simply deleted the machine through View Administrator instead of trying to recompose it?

but i need to keep the persistent disk (profile). If i delete de VM i lost the user profile....... any other idea?

Look in the Persistent Disk section of View Administrator and you can detach the disk.    At that point the machine should delete and  you can then recreate the desktop with that persistent disk.
