I think you can: 1) Create new host entry 2) Clone the system 3) uninstall the client on the cloned server being offline 4) install client on the cloned server being online Step 1) can be placed anywhere in the sequence before step 4. Other steps are sequential. That should preserve the original VM but create a new one properly configured. HTH > > Thanks for all your help. > > -- > Brent S.
