adding CPU/memory to desktops in linked clone composer pool

[WheatonCollege]

Hi all,

I want to add more CPU/memory to the desktops in a linked clone composer pool but I want to build a test pool off the changes first while the production pool is still up. Can you screw with virtual hardware in the master image then take a snapshot and build the test pool off of it without it effecting the linked clones in the production pool?

I would think the process would be as follows.....

1. Edit the hardware settings on the Win7 master image

2. Fire up the master image and let it recognize the additional CPU and memory (probably requires a reboot for the CPU I would think)

3. Shut down the master image and take a snapshot

4. Build a new test pool off that new snapshot

Thanks!

Yep that sounds about right, it won't cause any issues. If you want to be extra cautious with your prod environment you can just clone the base image and do your testing on that.
