Hello everyone. I'm trying to review how to create a template in VCSA 6.7 from a VM and it didn't work. I've reviewed the process and have done it in ESXi 5.5, but when I attempted this in VCSA it created the template OK, but it also did two unexpected things.
1. The template didn't have the drives associated with them
2. When I rebooted the VM that I created the template from it died because it couldn't locate the boot drive associated with the VM.
What happened and how do I create a template from a VM without ruining the VM itself? Shouldn't the boot drive be created for the template so it has the Windows server install for it?
The task I have is to build, update and security tighten Server 2016. I completed all of this work on two VM's, one for a Member Server and one for Domain Controllers.
Just when everything was perfect I run the procedure to create the template and now the VM doesn't work anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dave
