Good evening,
I realized that the problem was related to the VMhost profile, so when I checked I found that the VMhost profile user wasn’t set and I fixed it by providing the correct user. We are using Ubuntu 10.04 as the VM but the image capture didn’t went well because the iamage capture try to copy the SSH daemon from /etc/ssh/sshd and this path don’t exist under Ubuntu. We switch the VM to Centos 5.5, and we tried the image captured again but it failed because the image capture process can’t rename the VM in the VMware repository. We are absolutely in need of your assistance, please advise.
