RE: Image Creation Help Needed

2012-06-11 Thread Hartl, Gerhard L. 
All,

I have been looking at Norvins log and I'm not sure I completely understand the 
process that occurs when reading in the vmx during an image capture.

Can someone please chime in and shed some light?

Subject: Image Creation Help Needed

I'm trying to capture a windows 7 image. I think I have overlooked something 
but am not able to find it. I'm running VCL 2.2.1 with ESXi 4.1 and I have 
installed the VSphere SDK for perl.

Below is the log from the failed job.
