Well the problem is that during my custom task is not doing a vmware task. So the VM will not be locked. I am creating a Custom Task that is associated with a VM object. I start the task and it says 'In Progress'. Then I delete the VM that the Custom Task is associated with and can no longer update the Custom Task. So I have created an orphaned Custom Task. To prevent this I was going to prevent the VM from being deleted/removed while I am running a custom task on it. I don't think using permissions is going to work in this case. I only want that one VM to be locked and I want it to be locked for every user that has access to that vCenter. I also only want it locked during the Custom Task. I have not used permissions but is it possible to do this ?

I am trying to find out if there is a way to prevent a VM from being 'Removed from Inventory' or 'Delete from Disk'. When I am running my code on a VM i don't want the user to be able to delete it. I have a CustomTask associated with the VM and there is a field in TaskInfo called locked. Does anyone know how to set the locked field or even if that will fix my problem.

I solved the problem and just wanted to post what it was incase anyone else runs into this. I was registering the ExtensionTaskTypeInfo one at a time as was need by my plug-in. I changed this to registering them all at once the first time the plug-in is loaded. Now all the labels show up correctly.

I am trying to get some custom tasks working in vSphere using C#. I have followed this thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/214428 in setting up my custom tasks. I am seeing a lot of XXX com.package.label not found XXX in the Recent tasks in vSphere client. It seems to do this the first time a execute a custom task. If i execute the same custom task again it will display the proper label. If the label are showing up properly and i close and reopen the vSphere client some of them change to XXX com.package.label not found XXX. Any ideas on how to get the labels to show properly everytime? Thanks.
