Will this work with windows

[talal-nabulsi]

Is there a way to make Knife Esx work with Windows machines and templates? Or is it restricted to linux VMs.

I tried to do this using a Windows 2008 R2 template. It is able to connect ESX via ssh, clone the instance, register it in ESX... but when it starts the new windows instance, is not working properly.

In the beginning, I had a problem because I was not using the "guest-id" parameter. But even I pass it, the new instance is not able to start. Looks like hard disk is corrupted, no matter al the times I tried the same operation.

If I compare both instances, the original and cloned, they have same virtual machine options. I'll keep having a look, I'm quite interested why it does not work.
