Hi Aaron, I pasted the log extract here:
http://apaste.info/0bd4 The wiki states "You must add the image to an image group using the VCL website after the image capture process is complete. Reservations for the image cannot be made until this is done. To add the image to an image group, browse to the VCL website and select Manage Images > Edit Image Grouping." What's meant to happen after this step? My initial thought was try 'Manage Computers'>'Computer Utilities'>'Confirm Reload' as the host suggested this under the 'State' column but I'm not certain that's the right step, and when I tried that I couldn't see anything happening on the hypervisor or log, apart from messages suggesting the computer wasn't available.

Can you send the vcld.log file? It should contain the image capture part and a reload reservation. Also can use pastbin or send the log file directly to me if needed.
