ok so true story.
im just updating my golden image because of an BMW update just normal stuff then i do a recompose set it to 21:00 and like every time works fine i just let it do its thing about 22:15 i go check and 50 desktops BOOOOOMMM the OS dosent start "operating system not found" and i do another snapshot and recompose the same thing happens,i rebooted the vmware view server and the vsphere server and did a recompose nothing the same exact thing by now im in 911 emergency all guns out googling and thinking im in a S#"##" load of problems... i did a clone of the template/golden image do a snapshot and another recompose the same thing happens no operating system found... its 01:00 im thinking im in a hole lot of trouble so i did what i always do i step back and get a cup of coffee and think persistant disk...
when you have a problem just step back go get a coffee i go to the vmware view persistent disk and do a manual detach of 50 desktops and waited they all deleted just fine and i get to the detached tab selected all and there is a small button that says recreate desktops it started coping the replica and recreating the desktops and coping the user data and it worked and damend it work.
i think its the fotocopy effect the copy of a copy of a copy and 14 months of copy that template... and sometimes you have to think outside of the box and something with this mindset "what box"...
