I installed ESX5.1 and vCenteAppliance.
I installed guest win2008R2 OS.
In the vCenter template menu by right click , I found make clone as template and convert to template.
What is that ?
Clone to Template duplicates a virtual machine and changes it to the template format by keeping original VM intact.
Convert to Template will convert the Source virtual machine into template.
