hi,

Create a new VM in Virtual Center - install updates software you need to have in that template etc etc.

Right click the VM when you're done and chose "convert to template", if you later need to update it again you can "convert to virtual machine" and update it before you make it a template again.

hi,

If I'm not wrong you must have a VMware vCenter Server license and a VC installed to get to use that functionality. templates/clones etc.
