While Deploying Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), I'm not able to add any VM's in the Collection
1
I am trying to create a Virtual Desktop collection, when ever i reach the page where it asks to select a Virtual Desktop Template it does not detect any Virtual Desktop even when I have a VM on the server and it has been sysprep'd. Is there any specific location where I should store the Virtual Desktop?
can any one suggest what should I do, I have attached a picture of where I get stuck.

I ran in to this issue myself. VDI does not work with Generation 2 VM's. Remake the sysprepped VM as a Generation 1 VM and it should show up.

Thanks for the reply Scott but its already a generation 1 VM. can you please tell me the other steps that you had performed in this process?

Do you have the VM still attached to hyper V and is the VM in a "shutdown" state? When you do the sysprep you should doing the commandsysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /mode:vm? I just followed this test lab guide and i got it to work.

Oh, one more thing. If the VHD file was a differential image based off of a base image I could not get it to work. Having the VM not based on any external VHD files was the only way I could get it to work.

yes i had followed the same sysprep command. This is a lab/test environment. all the things are running on the same physical server. I am trying to create a new VM, i hope it work this time. if it doesn't can I ask to to help me via remote desktop? or team viewer?
– user273284
Nov 29 '13 at 17:38
No, I can't do that. I would double check that you really made a Generation 1 VM, that the VM is still attached but in the off state on the Hyper-V server, and the VHD file the VM is based off of is not based on a 2nd VHD file.
