Windows 7 64bit on view 4.0.1 build-233023 and esx 4.0.0 261974

[Buzlightyear]

We will soon be upgrading to 4.5 but in the mean time ive been asked to look at windows 7, I can create this vm fine, and can create a manual single computer to it fine and log onto this via a Thin Client using view. But when it comes to creating a automated pool with linked clones it wont see the Parent VM at all, lists all my old XP golden images but not the windows 7 one.

Is it just not compatible with the above versions or am i missing something? I have followed this http://www.vmadmin.co.uk/vmware/53/241-view4win7deployguide but still no joy.

Thanks for any help.

Have you taken a powered on snapshot? it shoud be a powerd-off snapshot

It was  a powered off snapshot, i even tried a powered on one just for the sake of it too.

Im guessing then that this should be possible with the versions im running.

Hi Buz,

same problem here.

Your version of VMware View with this Buildnumber supports only Windows 7 32-bit OS.

We must upgrade to View 4.5 too.

You can find supported OS in View Admin Guide on page 19

Hope this helps.
