SendLinkedCloneRecompose

[NPDgroup]

Good Morning.

I'm trying to script a recompose for pools after we perform windows patching. I seem to be hitting an issue running the SendLinkedCloneRecompose command.

My View server version is 5.3.2 and my vcenter is 5.5

The error I'm getting is below. I've tried it both with the variables and manually entering the paths for the parentvm and snapshot path and it fails both ways.

Send-LinkedCloneRecompose : PowershellService::SendLinkedCloneRecompose FAILED, error=Could not get snapshot list for V

M at path /PWVDI/vm/ITStaffImage: null

vmpath "$pooldetails" -parentsnapshotpath "$fullsnap" -forceLogoff $true -stoponerror $true

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidResult: (vmware.view.pow...dCloneRecompose:SendLinkedCloneRecompose) [Send-Linked

   CloneRecompose], Exception

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PowershellService::SendLinkedCloneRecompose FAILED,vmware.view.powershell.cmdlets.SendLi

   nkedCloneRecompose

See below for the powershell script...I think its something with the command itself not the script but any help would be appreciated.
