View 4.6 - recreate template from clone

[kwacky1]

Due to various one of our persistent clone pools lost it's master/base/template image.

Thinking I was smart, I created a clone of one of the clones, qucikprep'd it, renamed it, joined it back to the domain and re-installed the VMware View Agent.

Now, when clones are created from this VM, they retain the name. I can't find anything obvious in the composer logs, but I feel like I'm missing something rather fundamental.

View is creating the computer account, but the machine is maintaining it's link to the original computer account.

What would be the correct steps to rescue/recreate the template for this pool and where have I gone so horribly wrong?

Cheers,

Simon

Try deleting the computer accounts in ad, from what I understand if you clone a computer that is already joined to a domain even if you leave and come back again as a new computer it still used the old one. You need to delete the original one I believe. in ad and recreate it.
