Hi all, We are set in the old ways of using Linked Clones and Full clones. To be honest, we use Linked Clones only to speed up deployments, as we don't have a solution for saving user environments and one off software deployments. So we never recompose. As such, we require every VDI to have Software Center on it so that we can patch and manage the machines. We also have a software library that we are using inside SCCM to make apps available. I am reading and testing out Instant Clones as we move to 7.13. What I don't understand is how SCCM will play with this. Obviously, patching will be 100x easier because we will just need to patch the parent VM. No need to individually patch the 700 + VDIs we have hosted. How about Software Center itself? The app catalog, the other stats we get from these machines such as disk space, what's installed, etc. The client cannot go on the master image since each clone would then have the same SID. This caused havoc in our SCCM before. Does anyone else use SC and Instant Clones?  

Hi all, I am installing a brand new Horizon 7.13 stack (Composer, connection broker, database). I am in my Horizon 7.13 admin and I am trying to create an automated pool using linked clones for a test. I get to the screen that says "SELECT_PARENT_VM" and when I click it, I get INTERNAL ERROR. What log should I be looking at?  I checked logs on the connection server (c:\programdata\Vmware\VDM\logs) and the composer server. I have yet to figure out where it is logging to? I have both composer and connection server at 7.13 running on 2016 server.
