VMware ACEFeatures | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums Adding a Virtual Machine to a ProjectIn VMware ACE Manager, you create a project first, then create a virtual machine within the project. You cannot create a new virtual machine outside the context of a project. Once a virtual machine exists, you may add it to as many projects as you wish. You may also add virtual machines created with certain other VMware products. Virtual machines created with the following products may be used in VMware ACE Manager projects: See Checklist: Adding a Virtual Machine for a worksheet you can use to gather the information you need when you create a new virtual machine. Caution: You should not change the name of a virtual machine in a project after you have created and distributed a package that includes the virtual machine. VMware ACE uses the name of a virtual machine to determine certain important settings, especially the name of the folder where the virtual machine is installed on the end user's computer. If you change the name of a virtual machine after you have distributed a package to end users, then create an update package using the new virtual machine name, the package installer attempts to install the update into a folder with a name based on the new virtual machine name. The update does not work properly, because the update is not installed into the folder used for the earlier install. You may continue directly from the New Project Wizard to the Add Virtual Machine Wizard. Or you may start the Add Virtual Machine Wizard from the project summary display. To start the wizard from the project summary display, click Add. |
