New-VM doesn't accept -Template

[m_pahlevanzadeh]

I have the following code:

PS /home/user/Downloads> $templateName = "ulabs_t"

PS /home/user/Downloads> $template = Get-Template -Name $templateName

PS /home/user/Downloads> write-output $template Name
----
ulabs_t

PS /home/user/Downloads>

When I use New-VM without -Template, It creates a VM such as :

$vm = New-VM -VMHost $esx -Name debian -Datastore $ds -DiskStorageFormat Thin | Set-VM -NumCpu 2 -MemoryGB 4 -Confirm:$false
PS /home/user/Downloads>

But When I invoke -Template such as the following code, It can't create VM.:

S /home/user/Downloads> $vm = New-VM -VMHost $esx -Name debian -Datastore $ds -DiskStorageFormat Thin -Template $template| Set-VM -NumCpu 2 -MemoryGB 4 -Confirm:$false

New-VM: 4/13/2022 9:20:02 AM New-VM    <<<<<  mentioned to errr

PS /home/user/Downloads>

How can I create VM from Template with VM?

By the way, my template is exist on VC.

You will need to give the full error message

How to generate error messages in verbose mode?

[LucD]

The error message should be there independent of what you put in Verbose.
For adding verbose messages, add the -Verbose switch to the cmdlet.

PS /home/user/Downloads> $vm = New-VM -VMHost $esx -Name vmm -Datastore $ds -DiskStorageFormat Thin -Template $template -Verbose

VERBOSE: Creates a new virtual machine with the specified parameters.

So there are no error messages (red lines)?

[m_pahlevanzadeh]

RED LINE is :

New-VM: 4/13/2022 2:48:06 PM New-VM

I made a mistake, clicked in Correct answer.

[LucD]

Verbose messages are yellow, error messages are red.

But I noticed you marked your reply as the solution, so I assume the issue is fixed.

[m_pahlevanzadeh]

Unfortunately, I can't create VM from template via VM-New yet.Why did you change to solution? I get the red line.

[LucD]

I didn't change anything.

Are you by any chance using free ESXi licenses?
