Hi,

Do you have any special NIC configuration in this template? If you try to deploy a VM from this template without customizing it, does it work?

Good luck.

Regards

Make sure that both the template and the new VM have the correct OS identified. You have to convert the template to a VM to check this setting.

From http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.fault.NicSettingMismat...

• "The number of network adapter settings in the customization specification  does not match the number of network adapters present in the virtual machine."

Is it your case?

[bbabaei]

Same number of adapters on both.  I had to convert the template to VM.  Then go into device manager and delete the nic.  Next edit the VM and remove the nic that was added.  Convert the VM back to a template and it worked.  There was something with the setup of the nic but this worked for me!

Thanks for the help!

Old post, but I just ran into this when trying to change the NIC port group (edit hardware configuration) while cloning a machine. Changing the port group on the source machine prior to the clone allowed me to proceed without error.
