POSSIBLY:
The administrator lacks permissions to access the selected datastore.
Double-check the user account to see whether it has proper permissions to create a pool and access the vSphere infrastructure. NOT having the proper permissions in AD can cause provisioning to fail. Plus, you need to look where you're placing the VMs in the AD "OU"
ALSO CHECK:
The datastore assigned to the pool is out of disk space.
Check that there is enough free space on the datastore that you configured for the pool. If there’s not enough free space on the datastore that you configured the pool to use, no Desktops will be created.
