need to make change to a image/snapshot

I have a bunch of vms deployed using a shapshot. Now I want to make a change to this snapshot/image. After I make the changes to the image and take anopther snapshot, if I link this new snapshot to the pool of vms, will my users lose all configuration and data?

After the recompose, user data and config should be preserved IF this is a.) a persistent pool, and b.) The pool is set to redirect data to a seperate disk.

Or if you have roaming profiles set up, in which case persistence and datastores don't come into it.

If you are referring to third party app config data, that might depend on how the app was written. As long as it writes their data to the user's profile, the above stays true.

JCL is right, as long as the pool is persistent, even if there is app data, it should still remain after the recompose.
